Stanley Tucci and Stephen Fry say Starmer must rethink ‘shameful’ benefit cuts
- Celebrities including Stanley Tucci, Stephen Fry, and Brian Cox have hit out at proposed UK welfare cuts that could impact disability benefits.

- Sir Keir Starmer has called the current system "morally and economically indefensible."
- The Resolution Foundation estimates that 800,000 to 1.2 million people could lose significant disability support.
- The government defends the reforms as necessary to create a more sustainable and equitable system, emphasising a focus on supporting those entering the workforce.
