Keir Starmer admits he failed to manage the Labour rebellion regarding disability benefits earlier, attributing this lag to his focus on foreign issues like NATO and the Middle East. He expressed regret for not making concessions sooner and emphasized the need for better engagement with colleagues. Starmer is working to quell dissent among Labour MPs concerning a welfare bill, which includes new measures aimed at protecting disability benefits. His recent public acknowledgments of missteps suggest a desire to reset his leadership approach.
I believe in the world we live in, not the world we want to live in.
I'd have liked to get to a better position with colleagues sooner than we did.
Starmer's third admission of having taken the wrong course in recent days indicates he may be moving to try to reset his premiership.
Starmer will be attempting this week to draw a line under the welfare rebellion.
