Third U-turn in a month leaves Keir Starmer diminished | Keir Starmer

After the third U-transformation of this month, Keir Starmer hopes to do enough to avoid the defeat of a first humiliating first Advesty as a prime minister, even if there is a diminishing figure in front of his party and his country.

On Wednesday night and Thursday, Starmer’s Chief of General Staff Morgan McSweeney and his assistant Angela Rayner sat with the leading rebels and hoped that the government would be enough to overcome the line.

These changes are likely to be important enough to support dozens of moderates that sign a change that will be waiting for the bill indefinitely. However, they damaged the prime minister’s reputation on adopting challenging reforms and the reputation of the chancellor on financial possibility.

Health Minister Stephen Kinnock said on Friday: “Keir Starmer is a prime minister who does not put change and reform to the very difficult box. In fact, he runs towards him and says: ‘True, how do we fix it?’ And I’m sure it will be the first in the minds of people.

Meg Hillier, one of the leading rebels, told the BBC Radio 4’s Today program: “We will see some of the fine details of this on Monday. We are waiting for a written ministry statement from the government, then we will get more details.

But others saw weakness. Whatlyly, What is the conservative spokesman for work and pension, said: “This is another humiliating U -turn that is forced to Keir Starmer.

For the Prime Minister, it has been reversed for the third time in recent weeks in the face of external pressure in recent weeks.

At the beginning of this month, Rachel Reeves, Chancellor, announced that he had taken back most of the cuts for winter fuel payments after a continuous political reaction. A week ago, the Prime Minister said that he had left his opposition to a national investigation into the gangs after being proposed by Louise Casey on his way to the G7 in Canada.

The decision to change the locks of this week’s welfare invoice may prove that all three are the most expensive.

The ministers will now limit their deductions, so that they will only apply to new plaintiffs, and at the same time promised to remove the health element of the universal loan in line with inflation. In addition to the promises of redesigning all personal independence payments (PIPs) system, the Solution Foundation estimates that the Solution Foundation can cost £ 3 billion.

Reeves will determine the full costs of the package and how you want to pay for them in the budget in autumn. When asked about the cost of the U -turn on Friday, Kinnock used to say: “The issues of the budget are for chances and will bring a budget in the autumn.”

However, this is not only the cost of emergency changes that Reeves should measure. Now he and the prime minister have gained a reputation for the changing route in the face of the Backbench resistance, the chancellor, the depths of labor force deputies will be under heavy pressure.

Hillier said that on Friday, the Prime Minister would have to listen to Parliament colleagues more carefully. “There is great talent, experience and knowledge in parliament, and it is important to rest better. And I think this message landed.”

Many workers’ deputies are the most important, two children are the end of the benefit limit. Starmer accepts the importance of completely abolishing this border, but doing so will cost 3.6 billion pounds a year until the end of the parliament.

Therefore, as the government’s spending commitments increase, ministers refuse to exclude tax increases in this fall. As Starmer learned this week, it is an expensive job to annoy about one -third of your deputies.
