Keir Starmer is set to face his first Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) as the newly elected leader of the Labour Party, which recently returned to power after a significant victory on July 4. The Labour Party won 412 out of 650 seats, promoting promises to boost the economy and address housing and energy issues. However, Starmer is already facing internal challenges, having suspended seven Labour MPs for defying party lines and voting to scrap the controversial two-child benefit cap, a policy criticized for exacerbating child poverty. The SNP accused Starmer's government of failing its first major test by rejecting calls to abolish the cap, emphasizing the pressing issue of child poverty affecting millions. As Starmer prepares for a grilling from Rishi Sunak, he must navigate both party dissent and public expectations regarding social welfare reform.
