British Prime Minister Keir Starmer marks a year in office this week, facing challenges from within his party and the public.

Sir Keir Starmer is bracing for the biggest Labour rebellion of his premiership at a crunch vote on his flagship welfare Bill this evening. MPs are due to vote for the first time on the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill at 7pm.

Keir Starmer faces crunch vote on welfare spending after watering down planned cuts to disability benefits. The United Kingdom’s Labour government hopes to limit a rebellion over welfare reform from its own politicians in a key vote in Parliament, just days after attempting to win them over with concessions.
