Starmer says fixing welfare is a 'moral imperative'
Keir Starmer emphasizes fixing UK's broken benefits system as a "moral imperative" at Welsh Labour conference following a government U-turn on welfare cuts. Despite conceding on welfare reform, some Labour MPs and Unite union call for further changes or dropping the proposal altogether. Starmer highlights the need to address failures in the benefits system to help vulnerable individuals while ensuring benefits are not a hindrance for those able to work, proposing a "Labour way" for improvements.
