UK minister frames welfare overhaul for youth as 'moral crusade'

UK Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden is urging Labour MPs to support significant changes to welfare benefits for 16- to 24-year-olds, framing the overhaul as a moral imperative to boost youth employment. The move signals a potential shift in Labour's welfare policy, with cuts to some payments under consideration. The outcome is uncertain pending parliamentary support and details of the reforms.
