💨 Abstract
Today, MPs will vote on reforming the UK's welfare system, focusing on Universal Credit and the Personal Independence Payment (PIP). The proposals, criticized for cutting support, include stricter PIP eligibility and a phased reduction in the health element of Universal Credit. The government made concessions to avoid a rebellion from Labour MPs. The bill, likely to pass, could still face significant opposition. If rejected, it would be a major setback for Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves.
