British Prime Minister Keir Starmer marks a year in office this week, facing challenges from within his party and the public.

British lawmakers gave their initial approval to Prime Minister Keir Starmer's plans to cut disability benefits on Tuesday, after a rebellion in his Labour Party forced the government to abandon a key reform at least for now.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is braced for the biggest rebellion of his premiership in a vote on planned benefits cuts, despite making significant concessions to discontented Labour MPs. Sir Keir and his ministers have been scrambling to convince MPs to back watered-down welfare changes in a key vote on Tuesday evening.
