Starmer faces growing Labour rebellion over welfare cuts
Starmer is confronted with a growing labor revolt over welfare cuts. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is facing increasing pressure from within his own party as a growing number of Labour MPs voice opposition to his stance on welfare cuts. Within a few weeks of Labour's historic victory in the general election, the internal rebellion has revealed deep divisions within the party. Starmer's decision to maintain some welfare restrictions imposed by the previous Conservative government, particularly the two-child benefit cap, is at the heart of the dissent. Despite pre-election hopes that a Labour government would reverse the policy—seen by critics as punitive and harmful to low-income families—Starmer has signalled there will be no immediate change.

Mercy in Sacrifice
Eid al-Adha & Qurbani: Compassion in Tradition I know the idea of animal sacrifice can feel unsettling. Those feelings come from empathy – and Islam respects that empathy. Eid al-Adha commemorates Prophet Abraham’s devotion: according to the Qur’an, God provided a ram so Abraham’s son was spared. Qurbani (sacrifice) is done in gratitude for that mercy. We should remember that this act is meant as a profound ritual of faith and charity, not mindless violence. Islam actually calls on us to be kind to animals: “animals represent God’s wisdom and wonder, and humans are obliged to attend to their health and living conditions”. In other words, compassion is built into Qurbani, not ignored.
