💨 Abstract

Sir Keir Starmer faces a significant rebellion from over 100 Labour MPs who demand a U-turn on planned welfare cuts. Starmer insists on proceeding with slashing the health element of Universal Credit and tightening disability benefits. The resistance comes as MPs criticize the lack of thorough impact assessments. Some MPs, believing they face re-election challenges, are considering defying the party line on issues including disability benefits, immigration, and winter fuel payments.
