The Archbishop of Canterbury has urged Labour leader Keir Starmer to abandon the 'cruel' two-child benefit cap, citing concerns over rising child poverty in the UK. Labour's Wes Streeting proposes measures such as providing free private healthcare for doctors and nurses with back issues to reduce A&E waiting lists and get medics back to work. Additionally, Streeting advocates for hospitals to operate on weekends and share staff resources to address the NHS backlog, emphasizing the need for increased support for healthcare workers.
