Labour must remember what and who it is for

KEIR Starmer believes his government has a “moral imperative” to fix the welfare system.

- 

The problem is that the practical application of this is cutting disability benefits from thousands of people.

The PM has now had to back down from £5billion of proposed savings in the face of a rebellion from his own MPs who can see the plans pose an existential threat to their chances of reelection.

Starmer has also been forced into a screeching U-turn over his policy of cutting the winter fuel payment to pensioners.

He also seems likely at some point to reverse a refusal to abolish the two-child cap on benefits payments.
