In his first Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) since taking office, Keir Starmer faced scrutiny from opposition and members of his own Labour Party regarding the government's stance on child poverty and the controversial two-child benefit cap. Despite a cordial atmosphere, marked by a shared commitment to support Ukraine, Starmer had to contend with internal dissent, having suspended seven Labour MPs who voted against the party's position on welfare limits. Criticism from the Scottish National Party (SNP) highlighted concerns that the cap exacerbates child poverty, a point Starmer defended by referencing a new child poverty taskforce. The Labour Party's recent election victory has not shielded Starmer from backlash, with some party members branding him 'Sir Kid Starver' as tensions rise over social welfare policies. The government is under pressure to reconsider the two-child benefit cap, reflecting broader anti-poverty advocacy within the party. Starmer's ability to manage these challenges could define his leadership as he navigates the complexities of governing after a significant electoral victory.
