Independent’s political reporter Archie Mitchell Reports:

A leading workers’ wand, Sir Keir Starmer’s benefit cuts, the debris change to the public than those who have been prepared to vote more “much more” deputies, he said.

Rachael Maskell, a long -standing critic of the government, made a new change that would kill welfare reforms if it was supported by Commons on Tuesday.

So far there are 39 labor signatures (See shipment 08:21)However, on Tuesday, talking to the BBC and said: “There are many people who say that they are made with smart changes, and they will go in and vote for this bill.

“Many more people say it’s not the right thing to do, it’s not a matter of labor.”

Ms. Maskell said that there was a “more burden çocuk who opposes the government.

“I have dealt with many people who said that I did not sign your reasoned change yesterday, but I vote for the invoice,” he insisted.

The government will work all day to minimize the rebellion against welfare reforms and minimize the rebellion.

However, dozens of workers are likely to vote for the useful invoice of the deputy.

Although the exact figures are not known, a “change of destruction” specified in the parliamentary order document on Tuesday was signed by 39 workers’ deputies.

The change was put forward by York Central Deputy Rachael Maskell.

39 Labor Signor is much less than 83 to overthrow the majority of Sir Keir, but just before Labour’s first anniversary of the first anniversary of the election victory, the greatest rebellion of premiere.

Last week is a much lower number than 127 that signed a change that will completely stop the progress of the bill.

This reduces the concessions by the government to approximately 50 following the concessions.

Jonathan Reynolds called on workers’ deputies to support welfare reforms in the middle of an upcoming rebellion, and insisted that he was more “in a strong position önce than last week after making concessions on the government’s plans.

Business Secretary Sky News was asked what the results would be to reject the bill, and told Sky News that it was “a positive conversation with his colleagues about what they want from this process”.

He said that everyone wants to be protected by the most vulnerable and said, “I think we worked with people to ensure this.”

Im I would like them to support the government on this basis, because what we have here is something better than the current system, ”he said.

When asked if the deputies would lose the whip against the government, he said, olmayan He was not aware of such a thing ”, but“ These issues are for the head of the whip ”.

The government faces accusations that new welfare reforms will create a layered system between the disabled community.

Yesterday, at Commons, the Minister of Welfare and Pension Liz Kendall was asked several times whether reforms would create a “two -layer system”.

While changes continue to receive the current appropriations of existing plaintiffs, new plaintiffs will be subject to more strict suitability.

In the meantime, a government review that takes into account the views of people with disabilities will begin with the possibility of more changes as a result of their proposals.

Jonathan Reynolds rejected the suggestions that government welfare reforms would form a “three -layer” system, saying that the existing rights of the current rights are “Grandpa”.

When asked about the suggestions, the business secretary told Sky News: “I saw these claims, I don’t accept it.

“When we make significant changes in the welfare state, it is normal for the existing rights to be the grandfather of the existing rights.

“There are people in the United Kingdom with serious disability allowances. In 2001, it is closed to new participants. This is quite common.”

Jonathan Reynolds said the government’s prosperity suggestions were “much better than we have right now”.

Business Secretary Times told Radio: “First of all, we have to face difficult problems, part of what the government chooses to do.

“I admit that this is a difficult problem, but I think you will be in a much worse position if you avoid difficult problems. We saw this incredible rise in the money we spent on the Pip – it has doubled in five years. Meanwhile, I don’t think it was a significant reduced poverty.”

“If you look at where we are today, we have a series of offers that are much better than we have now, and there is a real partner in terms of Timms review that will take it forward.

“We have protected the most vulnerable people through serious health conditions, the right to trial and reshape access to work for disabled people.

“This general package is better and it’s sure we’re spending money.”

One of the most important reasons why some workers’ deputies rebelled against the bill stems from their own assessment of how the government will affect the poverty in England.

Despite the softening of the bill, approximately 150,000 people will be pushed to poverty by 2030 as a result of the government’s welfare deductions.

The figure is from 250,000 extra people who are estimated to have been left in relative poverty after housing costs under the original offers.

Modeling published by the Ministry of Labor and Pension, estimation, disabled people and long -term health conditions to support extra financing and measures to support any “potential positive effect”, he said.

Labor and Pension Secretary Liz Kendall returned to their plans to cut the element of the universal loan after signing a change in the payment of personal independence (PIP) last week that the changes in personal independence (PIP) would only be valid for new plaintiffs from November 2026 and that the ministers signed a change that would effectively kill the bill of 126 workers’ deputies.

Keir Starmer is still facing a harmful rebellion after the ministers admit that 150,000 people will still be pushed into poverty with benefit reforms.

With the authority of the Prime Minister, Liz Kendall, Secretary of Labor and Retirement Pension, announced the use of benefit reforms that have been modified yesterday to convince the worker backbencher to vote.

More than 130 workers Backbencher had signed a change that would effectively kill the legislation-but the ministers hoped to prove their current personal independence payments (PIP) and other changes would end the rebellion.

The Crunch vote will take place today.
