Starmer: We’re not prepared to stand back and do nothingpublished at 14:16 Greenwich Mean Time
Prime Minister Keir Starmer was sitting behind Liz Kendall in the Commons as she delivered her statement.
He's just now posted on X: "When I talk about opportunity for all, I mean it."
"This government will always protect the most severely disabled people to live with dignity," he adds.
"But we’re not prepared to stand back and do nothing while millions of people — especially young people — who have potential to work and live independent lives, instead become trapped out of work and abandoned by the system.
"It would be morally bankrupt to let their life chances waste away."
