THE HAGUE (Reuters) -British Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed to lead his party into the next general election and rejected suggestions he was failing to listen to the concerns of his party on Wednesday, as he faces a growing rebellion from lawmakers over welfare reform.

Ministers are discussing the prospect of further concessions to win over a growing list of Labour MPs poised to rebel against planned cuts to disability benefits. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said talks between backbenchers and Government were “ongoing” on Thursday night as Downing Street seeks to head off what would be Sir Keir Starmer’s first Commons defeat on Tuesday.

Keir Starmer seems determined to press on with disability benefit cuts despite a "nightmare" revolt by his own MPs
