Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer expressed confidence regarding his welfare bill during a press conference, despite facing opposition from over 120 Labour MPs. The bill impacts 800,000 disabled individuals relying on personal independent payments and has been met with backlash due to potential poverty implications. Starmer emphasized the need for long-term strategic decisions in response to a volatile world and maintained that he remains focused on a decade of national renewal, asserting his commitment to leading through these challenges as they arise.
We are living in a more volatile world. I think everybody in the country accepts that. We've had to rise to that challenge.
I’m very confident. We were elected in absolutely clearly saying we needed 10 years of national renewal. A decade of national renewal was what we were elected into.
