I know women who are scared stiff about possible cuts to their benefits.

This budget is expected to get through both houses of Parliament later this year (in time for another fun budget in November and their party conference), so its unlikely to be implemented until April 2026.

That's if the Labour majority HoL doesn't throw in some amendments which extend the process.
I wonder how many of them expected a new Labour government to start out with such a sustained attack on the working class. Maybe their consciences will be moved, just a little?

And meanwhile, the DWP will all have to be re-trained. (And everyone knows how long THAT takes)!
I predict that by early next year, the Tribunal system will be so overwhelmed with cases that there will be many legal challenges.

Starmergeddon is well on his way to being the most hated Labour PM since Tony Blair.
