Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been forced into a U-turn on a planned £5 billion cut to disability entitlements, to quell a rebellion from within his own party. John Stepek, who writes Bloomberg's Money Distilled newsletter, discusses the pressure on Labour from both the left, and Reform UK on the right, and what that means for the government's fiscal agenda. Hosted by Stephen Carroll and Caroline Hepker.
