Keir Starmer warned over latest bid to restore lost voters
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces criticism and declining approval ratings following policy U-turns, including on winter fuel payments and potentially the two-child benefit cap. Pollsters suggest these reversals risk portraying him as insecure and could fuel leadership challenge speculation. While the U-turns might be popular, experts warn they may not fully restore lost voter confidence. The two-child benefit cap presents a complex dilemma, as it's popular with voters but criticized for increasing child poverty. Scrapping it would be a significant reversal for Starmer. Deputy Leader Angela Rayner denies leadership ambitions amidst rumors of a challenge, while a leaked memo reveals her past support for child benefit cuts for middle-class families.
