Burnham, Benefits, and Big Budget Shifts

Published 11 hours ago
Description

Andy Burnham could be next Prime Minister as Keir Starmer steps down and the current PM admits losing MP support, promising a smooth transition. Meanwhile, benefit recipients brace for potential changes amid soaring UK borrowing—£23.3 billion in May alone—and a rising PIP claimant count of four million. The Timms Review looms, set to reshape benefits by July 17, sparking fears of cuts as the government pushes for preventative, work-focused policies—even linking defense contracts to social value like apprenticeships.
