UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer Pledges Major Welfare Reform

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a new push to reform the UK's welfare system. He will frame the effort as a "moral imperative" to control the country's rising benefits spending. This initiative is expected to challenge his own Labour Party members. Some MPs are likely to oppose changes that could reduce welfare support. Starmer argues that tackling the growing cost of benefits is essential for the nation's financial health. The government plans to introduce specific policy changes in the coming weeks.
