The Independent emphasizes the importance of on-the-ground journalism in current U.S. affairs, covering issues like reproductive rights, climate change, and political finance. It highlights key developments, such as Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer's recent U-turn on welfare cuts, which has not sufficiently satisfied dissenting MPs. Rebel Vicky Foxcroft, who resigned due to concerns that cuts would harm disabled individuals, indicates that more concessions are necessary. The piece underscores the significant dissent expected within the Labour Party despite Starmer's adjustments.
Ms. Foxcroft dramatically quit this month in protest at the plans, saying she could not back cuts that will harm disabled people.
She has not decided whether to back the government's plans on Tuesday, and around 50 Labour MPs are still expected to vote against the welfare shakeup even after the U-turn.
Sir Keir Starmer's 3bn U-turn on his planned welfare cuts does not go far enough, a leading rebel who quit her frontbench job over the changes has warned.
It was good to hear that people won't be losing their benefits who are currently on them but said there were areas where I still think there's need for movement.
