💨 Abstract
After facing significant backlash and a potential rebellion from his own party, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has softened plans to cut welfare benefits. Originally aiming to save £5 billion by November 26 by restricting access to Personal Independence Payment (Pip) and Universal Credit, Starmer backed down after rebel Labour MPs and campaigners criticized the moves. The U-turn preserves current claimants' benefits but introduces stricter eligibility for new applicants.
