Welfare rebellion to test Starmer's authority like never before

Summary

Nutrition label

71% Informative

Labour MPs have signed up to a 'reasoned' amendment to stop the government's welfare reforms.

It would stop the bill in its tracks, thwarting the welfare plans which the government, and especially Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall , made a test of their toughness just a few months ago .

The changes are intended to save the government 5bn a year by 2030 , and more generally help them meet their economic rules.

Leading signatories are "basically a load of people who found out they weren't ministers on Twitter " If the government pushes ahead with the vote next week , the only way to get the numbers down would be to make concessions.

Not all potential rebels want the same changes, so far whips are giving a 'nod and a wink' to rebels.
