Senior political producer

Sir Keir Starmer, “We need to pass reforms,” he insistently, the plans to reduce the useful bills on the Labor Party’s potential rebels returned.
In the coming weeks, MPs will vote on a prevention package aiming to reduce the useful invoice by 5 billion by 203 – it will make it difficult for disabled people with less serious conditions to pay for the payment of personal independence (PIP) in Britain, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Duzine workers’ deputies expressed their concerns about their plans to reduce PIP payments and plans to cut the element of the universal loan related to the disease.
But the Prime Minister said: “We have to pass the reforms and I was clear about it from start to finish.”
Speaking to the publishers, he said: “The system does not work. It does not work for those in need of support, it does not work for taxpayers.
“Everyone acknowledges that they need reform, we need to reform, and we intend to do so.”
The bids include tightening the suitability for the PIP – for people over 16 years of age, designed to help meet extra costs they may encounter, long -term physical or mental health conditions.
The government said that up to 1.3 million people in England and Wales may lose at least some support under changes.
Many workers said that the deputies were ready to vote for the government’s welfare reform bill, which includes the planned changes.
Last week, Ministers Labor Party MPs tried to give assurance Bringing a 13 -week transition period for those withdrawn.
The career’s allowance will continue to be paid during the 13 -week transition, but it will end when the PIP is removed.
At the weekend, a Labor Party deputy rejected a rebellion to prevent a “not much” as “not much”.
Dr Simon Opher, who spoke to the BBC Radio 4 Today program on Saturday, said that the “slightly delay” in termination of payments does not change the basic fact of the government, “the government plans to reduce disability payments, he said.
According to the government’s impact assessment, the welfare pack as a whole can push extra 250,000 people, including 50,000 children, to relative poverty.
When asked if there was more concessions, Sir Keir said he was determined to pressure on changes.
Sir Keir, “The principles remain the same, those who can work should work.” He said.
“Those who need job support should support the job I don’t think they’re getting right now.
“Those who can never work should be supported and protected properly. This involves non -reassessment and non -evaluation.
He continued: “So they have to reform principles, and we will continue with this reform when the bill comes.”
