Keir Starmer makes personal plea for Labour MPs to back him on benefits cuts and recalls how his late mother and brother dealt with disabilities

The Prime Minister is engaged in a frantic bid to quell a possible revolt on the Government benches in the House of Commons over welfare reforms.



Keir Starmer is making a personal appeal to Labour MPs to support his proposed benefits cuts, recalling his family's experiences with disability. The proposed £5 billion cuts aim to tighten rules on sickness and disability benefits. This comes amidst backlash and Labour MPs questioning the morality of the cuts, with some suggesting a wealth tax instead. Starmer defends the cuts by saying the current welfare system is broken and locks people out of work.
