Streeting insists Burnham won’t make ‘arbitrary’ welfare cuts

Andy Burnham will not implement arbitrary cuts to the increasing social security budget, according to Defense Secretary Wes Streeting. He criticized Labour's opponents for their lack of consideration in reducing welfare costs, which has led to a decline in political backing. Streeting reflected on past experiences after the last general election, noting that hasty decisions to cut welfare led to backlash, particularly from those concerned about the impact on disabled individuals.
