Dozens of Labour MPs back bid to block benefits changes

The BBC was told that approximately 80 workers’ deputies supported a new effort to prevent the planned changes in the planned aid system.
MPs signed a change that would give the opportunity to vote for the proposal to completely reject the welfare reform bill.
Duzines deputy, until 2030 to save £ 5 billion per year, disabled and disease -related benefit plans to reduce their plans to express.
The ministers tried to soften the impact of welfare changes, but many labor force deputies are dissatisfied with the package of benefit reforms.
The so -called Welfare Reform Law, called the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Payment Law, will contain offers that will make it difficult for disabled people with less serious conditions to request personal independence payment (PIP).
The change in the BBC draws attention to the “reasons for the reform of the social security system” before summarizing the reasons for the rejection of the bill.
The reasons for the listing to block the bill include the number of people who are expected to enter into relative poverty, lack of consultation, and an inadequate impact assessment on the results of the labor market and the health of people.
It is known as a reasoned change, which is a parliamentary mechanism that allows deputies to register the reasons for objection to a bill.
If the Smart Change is elected by the Speaker of the Assembly Sir Lindsay Hoyle and the majority of the MPs vote in favor of this, the bill will not be allowed to continue over the parliament.
Although the success of the change is not guaranteed, the level of support to CT among workers’ deputies shows the scope of the potential rebellion faced by ministers.
A list of the Signed Labor Party MPs – described to the BBC, 10 workers’ election committee includes the chair – is expected to be released on Monday evening.
It is understood that many members of the left -wing socialist campaign workers have not yet had the opportunity to sign, which may mean the number of signatures beyond 100 in the coming days.
This issue of the government’s welfare plans may be sufficient to force the defeat in the Assembly Avamons, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, there were all the opposition parties to oppose plans.
The government has 165 working majority in Commons, ie 83 workers will have to oppose the bill to force a parliamentary defeat.
Previously, the conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said he did not want to warn his plans before he was voted for the welfare reform bill.
A high -level conservative source, the Shadow Cabinet meets on Tuesday morning when the government will help vote through welfare reforms, he said.
Half of the signatures of the change are thought to be from the recruitment of new workers’ deputies so far – those elected in the general elections last year.
The vote in the government’s bill will be held for a week tomorrow – Tuesday, July 1.
On Monday evening, at the Workers’ MPs meeting, Liz Kendall defended the welfare reforms of Labor and Pension Secretary and argued that only more spending on benefits is not the way to social justice.
Kendall, “Everyone develops, the people who can work, the support of the support and the way to protect the fair society to protect – this is the way we try to build with our reforms.” He said.
“Our plans are due to justice for those in need of support and taxpayers.
“The Welfare state is about to survive, so there is always a security network for those who need it.”
One of the main coordinators behind the change, BBC, who did not want to be named, said the government shows that the government “shows that they are sensitive to pressure” to the U -turn of the UNCAL FUEL PAYMENTS for retirees.
The decision said that the deputies encouraged most of those who signed the change by saying that the deputies voted for the winter fuel. [cuts] And he got a lot of grief in our election zones, so why do his colleagues think I should get back again? “
It is understood that the amendment plans began when the government has expanded the transition period for everyone who has lost personal independence payment and offered a partial olive branch.
The same deputy, who helped coordinate the change, said the government’s proposal was “pathetic” and “angry people even more” at the beginning of this month.
Sir Keir and Chancellor Rachel Reeves said that the rebels were “settled” to vote against the bill instead of direct telephone conversations that need to be calmed down.
They accused the deputies 10, thinking that they could “vote for voting with them” and said that the purpose of the change was to “send the government back to the board” by forcing the vote of the next week to withdraw the vote of the next week.
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.
The Ministry of Labor and Retirement says that as a result of the total measure package, an average loss of 3.2 million families – a mixture of existing and future buyers – expects to lose financially.
This includes 370,000 existing PIP buyers that will no longer be qualified, and 430,000 future plaintiffs that will receive less than they will be entitled before.
However, the ministers emphasized that the figures did not affect the government’s efforts to reduce poverty or to reduce poverty to help the government’s long -term patients and disabled people return to work.
Ministers hope that these efforts will increase employment among the benefits at a time when 2.8 million people are not economically active due to long -term illness.
If nothing changes, the benefit of health and disability is estimated to reach $ 70 billion per year by the end of a decade, and the government says it is “unsustainable”.
The government plans to fulfill its welfare reforms by November 2026, and no one will lose their payment until this happens.
