Why has the UK government announced swingeing welfare cuts?

Al Jazeera  

United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer has unveiled a major shake-up of the country’s welfare system, arguing that it could save the country 5 billion pounds a year by 2030, but sparked a political row in the process. Colum Eastwood, an MP from Labour’s sister party, the Social Democratic and Labour Party, in Northern Ireland, referred to the case of a constituent who will lose financial support under the reforms and asked parliament on Wednesday: “What is the point of Labour?” Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the cost of sickness and disability benefits has soared in the UK as large numbers of people say they are unable to work and are in need of state assistance to live. Resolution Foundation, a centre-left think tank, said if the government plans to save 5 billion pounds from restricting PIP by making it harder to qualify for the “daily living” component, this would mean 800,000 to 1.2 million people losing support of 4,200 pounds to 6,300 pounds per year by 2029-2030. The opposition Conservative Party said the cuts are merely “rushed” attempts to make government finances look better in the short term and the welfare system needs a wider overhaul that it estimated could save 12 billion pounds a year. The Disability Benefits Consortium, which represents more than 100 charities, said: “These immoral and devastating benefits cuts will push more disabled people into poverty and worsen people’s health.” Richard Burgon, MP for Leeds East, wrote on X: “The Government must drop this cruel proposal or it’ll face the mother of all rebellions.” The Prime Minister was unable to answer a simple question today about why a disabled person who needs help to eat, wash and manage toilet needs could no longer get PIP under his proposals.
