Labour Vows Support for Most Vulnerable Amid Welfare Cuts Debate

The UK government said it will seek to support the country’s most vulnerable even as plans to cut spending on welfare spur dissent within the ruling Labour Party.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting said on Sunday that the government’s welfare reform is aimed at supporting people who can’t work while helping those who can find employment. He declined to comment on reports that the government was preparing to backtrack on some of its planned welfare cuts.
