Work and pension secretary Liz Kendall is expected to set out plans for welfare reform on Tuesday
Labour's Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall unveiled plans to cut £5 billion from welfare, prompting backlash from charities and trade unions who deem the reforms "immoral" and "indefensible". The reforms, intended to address the projected £70 billion annual cost of disability and long-term sickness benefits by 2030, may impact up to one million people. The government maintains a united front amidst expected opposition, while critics argue the cuts are driven by short-term savings rather than lasting reform. A Labour MP announced his intention to vote against the cuts.
