UK Welfare Reforms Could Push 250,000 into Poverty, Spark Outrage

The UK government has unveiled welfare changes set to affect 250,000 individuals, including 50,000 children, pushing them into poverty. These reforms, impacting disability benefits and universal credit, will result in 3.2 million families losing significant financial support by the end of the decade. Critics argue the cuts disproportionately hurt disabled households, fuelling opposition from Labor MPs and charities.
