Starmer insists Government's welfare reforms must be pushed through
Sir Keir Starmer has insisted the Government's welfare reforms must be pushed through in an indication there will be no more concessions to quell backbench unease over cuts to disability benefits. The Prime Minister said 'everybody agrees' the social security system is not working and needs to change, when asked if there would be more measures to see off a Labour rebellion. The Government has sought to soften the impact of its plans, which it hopes will save £5 billion a year by 2030, in a bid to reassure MPs concerned about the impact of the cuts. The proposals include tightening eligibility for personal independence payments. Up to 1.3 million people across England and Wales could lose at least some support under the changes, the Government has suggested. Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall earlier this week promised 'non-negotiable' protections for the most vulnerable benefits recipients would be included in the welfare bill in a bid to quell backbench unease, the Guardian reported. Asked whether there would be further concessions, the Prime Minister told reporters travelling with him to the G7 in Canada: 'Well we have got to get the reforms through and I have been clear about that from start to finish. 'The system is not working, it's not working for those that need support, it's not working for taxpayers. 'Everybody agrees it needs reform, we have got to reform it and that is what we intend to do.'

World Day Against Child Labour 2025: Date, theme, quotes, significance — all you need to know
World Day Against Child Labour: World Day Against Child Labour is a global observance marked on June 12 every year, serving as a crucial reminder to build a world free of child labour, where children worldwide are not forced into work at the expense of their education and well-being. Child labour can be defined as any work that is unconstitutional for a child's age by physical or mental abilities. In India, its constitution explicitly prohibits minors under the age of 14 from working in mines, factories, or dangerous occupations. Similarly, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) defines a child, under the age of 18, as someone who should not engage in hazardous work. In 2024, nearly 138 million children were engaged in child labour. Though progress has been made since 2020, millions are still being denied their right to learn, play and and simply be children. UNICEF and @ilo are urging governments to take — UNICEF (@UNICEF) June 11, 2025 Falling on Thursday, June 12, 2025, this year marks the 26th anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Worst Forms of Child Labour. It provides an opportunity for stakeholders to strengthen the implementation of the main conventions on child labour: Convention No. 182 and Convention No. 138 on the Minimum Age for Admission to Employment or Work. However, despite advancements to eliminate child labour, UNICEF highlights that it continues to impact nearly 138 million children worldwide, with 54 million of these engaged in hazardous work. This is why the 2025 observance will be marked under the theme, 'Progress is clear, but there's more to do: let's speed up efforts!' with this year's theme highlighting both the progress made and the imperative of increasing efforts to fulfil global commitments. The significance behind the World Day Against Child Labour lies in its capacity to promote and strengthen the worldwide appeal to eliminate child labour. While child labour remains one of the most provoking human rights issues today, denying millions of children worldwide their right to education, health, and fundamental freedom, here are some quotes to share to spread awareness and advocate for a world free of child labour. Children should have pens in their hands, not tools. – Kailash Satyarthi Every child deserves a childhood free from exploitation and abuse. – Malala Yousafzai The only way to end child labour is to ensure that all children have access to education and opportunities. – ILO Director-General Child labour perpetuates poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, population growth, and other social problems. – Kailash Satyarthi There is no justification for child labour. The child is the future of our nation. Let us allow him to develop physically, mentally, and morally. – Mahatma Gandhi There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than how it treats its children. – Nelson Mandela
