Keir Starmer has described fixing the welfare system as a "moral imperative" following a government U-turn on controversial welfare reforms. Starmer emphasized that while reforms are necessary, the safety net for vulnerable individuals will not be removed. The government acknowledged mistakes in the initial welfare changes and has taken steps to correct them after 102 days of scrutiny. Health Secretary Wes Streeting, questioned on the delay in reversing the benefit cuts, highlighted that although some aspects were mishandled, the government has now addressed these issues. The welfare reform reversal has sparked debate over poverty, taxation, and social support policies.
