💨 Abstract

Over 120 Labour MPs are rebelling against Keir Starmer's government over proposed benefit cuts, particularly the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill. These cuts aim to reduce the benefit bill and encourage work but face opposition for being too harsh on disabled people. The rebels are considering a confidence vote if the bill proceeds on Tuesday, putting Starmer's leadership at risk. While some discussions have been positive, no agreement has been reached.
