Labour MPs Face Election Peril Over Welfare Cuts: 80 Seats at Risk

Sir Keir Starmer is warned that at least 80 Labour MPs are at risk of losing their seats over the Government's welfare cuts, specifically those affecting disability benefits. An analysis suggests there are more than 80 Labour MPs with a majority smaller than the number of disabled people in their seats who might see their benefits cut, including several high-profile ministers such as Wes Streeting and Shabana Mahmood. The data is being shared among MPs as Sir Keir faces a mounting revolt over welfare cuts.

Vile Conditions: Young People in Wales Forced into Unhygienic and Violent Accommodations as Children

Young people in Wales have spoken out about being placed in dirty, dangerous, and unsuitable accommodation as children.
