Keir Starmer has dismissed growing unrest within the Labour party regarding his proposed welfare cuts, claiming that criticism is typical of politics. Despite over 120 MPs signaling potential rebellion through an amendment against the welfare bill, Starmer insists the party remains united and focused on delivering necessary changes. During a speech at the NATO summit, he emphasized his confidence in reading the political climate and attributed Labour's electoral success to sound judgment. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner confirmed that the vote on the welfare cuts will proceed, despite the dissent.
We've got a strong Labour government with a huge majority to deliver on our manifesto commitments. And that's the work that we did over many years to win the election.
The important thing is to focus on the change that we want to bring about. Yes, there always are noises off, but we have to deliver.
