The Times can disclose, however, tht the genesis of the analogy came from the very top. It was first made byy Starmer at cabinet on Tuesday, during a discussion about official impact assessments showing that 250,000 people - including 50,000 children - face being pushed into poverty by the government's welfare cuts.
