No 10 in talks with Labour MPs in attempt to quash growing welfare revolt | Welfare

Downing Street is meeting with a group of workers’ rebels to relieve a major rebellion over the government’s planned welfare changes.

Trade Minister Douglas Alexander said on Thursday that the government’s criticisms of the rebels’ prosperity proposals “listening and reflecting” and 120 deputies are ready to rebel against the government in the vote next Tuesday.

On one night, Guardian reported that no 10 was preparing to offer concessions to the workers’ deputies, both in business and non -work, to contain changes that should be suitable for personal independence payments (PIP), which is a benefit.

Alexander said that workers’ deputies agreed with the principles of the “bill, but how to make changes to the ministers and protect the most vulnerable one. Unpleasant workers, deputies said ministers believe that people believe that they are consulted appropriately and need to examine the change more.

“120 work colleagues in the House of Commons clearly revealed through a reasoned change that they need to participate in the principles of the bill, but when they have real concerns about how they are testified in these principles, the government should listen and talk and reflect, the workers would make.”

The Minister said that there was still enough time for discussions with potential rebels before Tuesday and Sky News said: ız We have time. There will be discussions. There are discussions that have begun to take place and I expect these conversations to continue. ”

“If there are practical ways that we can improve this legislation, we must do. We must do it to avoid buying rebels, because this is a matter of labor and this is the conversation that I expect the ministers to be busy in the coming days.”

The PIP was introduced by the coalition government in 2013 and is designed to assist employees of 16 years and older with their health status or disability. It is available in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Prime Minister Chief of General Staff Morgan Mcsweeney, recently conducting one -to -one interviews with senior rebels, but worker Pwits, in particular, admitted that they did not have a success that persuaded the names of the deputies to withdraw the welfare bill.

Attempts to persuade the opposition MPs to raise their names from the changes taken by Dame Meg Hillier, the President of the Treasury Election Committee, so far. Among the new signs on one night were the President of the Commons Environmental Supervision Election Committee, Toby Perkins, Stoke-On-Trent Central Deputy, Gareth Snell, Tyne Deputy Mary Glindon and Tamworth Sarah Edwards.

Irene Campbell and Colchester Deputy Pam Cox, North Ayrshire and Arran, added their names and brought the number of Backbencher who supported the change.

While asking questions at the NATO summit in The Hague, the Prime Minister answered the question of whether he had political skills to lead Britain, while eliminating a great threat of rebellion on Wednesday.

Starmer said, “Is it hard? Is there a lot of sound? There is always, there is always, it will always be, Star Starmer said. “I am comfortable to read the room and to offer the change the country needs.” He insisted that his party remained “quite united ındaki behind the need for change.

There was a government He claimed that the changes were necessary “Confronting the broken welfare system… This is no longer a security network for those in need of support”, while one of the 10 working age people in the UK claims to assist at least one health or disability, while the number of people who demanded benefit has increased by 45% since 2019-20.

The Institute of Financial Research (IFS) Thinktank predicted that if the changes persisted, at 2029-30, 800,000 less working age would receive PIP daily life award. Even if it is fully implemented, the official estimates still suggested that the number of plaintiffs of the working age in the PIP or the UK and Wales would increase from 3.1 million to 2029-30 in 2024-25.
