Chancellor Rachel Reeves is under fire after announcing benefits cuts in her Spring Statement, sparking outrage from both the public and Labour MPs.
Critics argue the cuts unfairly target the poor and contradict Labour’s traditional values, with some MPs threatening to vote against the government. Reeves defended the policy, claiming it would not push people into hardship, but her remarks and those of Treasury minister Darren Jones have drawn sharp criticism. The move has ignited internal party unrest and raised questions about Labour’s direction under Keir Starmer’s leadership.
Public reaction has been overwhelmingly negative, with many calling the cuts 'disgusting' and 'unfair'.
