In an act of cowardice, Keir Starmer has put Party before country. Reforming Labour’s welfare bill so it will now achieve nothing. He cannot take the tough decisions necessary.
Labour’s welfare bill once again proves that they don’t know what they’re doing.
The economic credibility of this government has collapsed.
Labour has abandoned their flagship welfare reforms with a Bill which now achieves nothing but will mean higher taxes for working people. Labour initially set out to save £5 billion on welfare benefits, but after Labour MP’s rebelled, the savings have been watered down to barely anything.
This chaotic U-Turn will have drastic consequences.
Due to Keir Starmer’s failure to control his own MPs, the welfare bill is spiralling and set to overtake defence spending by 2030. This is unsustainable and will lead to those with the will to work, paying for the lifestyle for those who would rather sit at home.
