Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, has called on Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to reconsider proposed welfare reforms, which he claims will significantly harm disabled Londoners by dismantling their financial safety net. Khan emphasizes the necessity of supporting vulnerable individuals to transition from benefits to work, warning against removing essential safety measures. The debate has escalated, with many Labour MPs opposing the reforms, while Starmer insists they are crucial for improving the welfare system. He insists the upcoming vote is about reform, not a confidence issue.
Analysis of the proposals shows that the impact will be substantial, destroying the financial safety net for too many disabled Londoners. We can't take away the vital safety net that so many vulnerable and disabled Londoners rely upon.
We cannot do is take away the vital safety net that so many vulnerable and disabled Londoners rely upon. It's essential for a healthy and prosperous London.
It's not a confidence vote. It's a vote about reform of our welfare system. It isn't working, it doesn't help people in to work - quite the contrary.
The current welfare system simply is not working for anyone. The Prime Minister has insisted the government will press ahead with the reforms.
