Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a fresh bid to reform the country’s social security system after rebel MPs in his own party blocked reforms proposed last summer.

Starmer: Defends economic policies

The move comes after last week's budget proposed higher taxes to fund measures to tackle the cost-of-living crisis.

The budget, while fairly well received by the markets, was fiercely criticised by the Conservative opposition in parliament.

The Conservatives have accused finance minister Rachel Reeves of having misrepresented the state of the nation’s finances in the run-up to her budget, something she denied in interviews on Sunday.

Opinion polls suggest that Britain's Labour government is struggling over a number of issues, including its supposed failure to promote growth.
