Starmer caves in to rebels on benefits: Sir Keir is forced into a humiliating climb-down by Labour welfare army
Keir Starmer was forced to climb by the army of Labour’s welfare rebels tonight.
It is said that the Prime Minister has given them ‘great concessions’ in order to prevent defeat in a vote against benefit deductions next week.
Experts said that this means that this autumn is almost inevitable because the reforms expected to save £ 5 billion will now save much less.
It is understood that the privileges contain personal independence payments (PIP) irrigation that will hit the vulnerable people who cannot wash or dress themselves.
In particular, the ministers were cautious that the climb would allow them to rob enough from 126 rebels to print in advance with a Commons vote on Tuesday, on Tuesday.
And a Rebel told The Guardian: ‘They presented massive concessions, which should be enough to get the line for the second reading (vote on Tuesday).’
The Prime Minister came after a crazy meeting day after setting a deadline for hitting a compromise on Sunday night.
It is understood that Sir Keir is looking for a few of the rebels.

The insiders acknowledged that if the Prime Minister had not had an agreement for Sunday evening, he would have an option to vote.
Climbing is still embarrassing for Sir Keir, as he emphasizes how large he cannot read the mood among the MPs.
In addition, after making the winter fuel allowance deductions, the last one in a series of backward shifting to policies.
Several moderate competitors, if the key elements such as PIP offers are irrigated, Sir Keir’s chances of winning sufficient rebel in the coming days, which shows that they are open to exceeding the legislation of benefit deductions, he said.
However, several other Hardline deputies warned that there was nothing less than abandoning the universal loan and personal independence payment bill.
The government has 165 majority in Commons, ie 83 workers’ deputies need to oppose the bill to influence defeat.
After opposing the benefits of days, Sir Keir admitted today that reforms would not go through a compromise.
When he was talking at Commons, he said he would start a ‘speech’ with the rebels, because his colleagues want to do this right, so do I.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves was depicted during the visit on June 26th.
Speaking with ITV Chancellor Rachel Reeves added: ‘We have to do this correctly. Of course, we should take people with us on this journey.
“ And for the next few days, we will continue to listen to the vote on Tuesday. Everyone can see that the system we have today is not sustainable.
When asked about the possibility of tax hikes, he added: ‘It is right to say that we will not increase the taxes paid by employees. As a government, we need to take control of public finances, but we need to do it in a fair way. ‘
As reforms stop, most of the affected 800,000 PIP plaintiffs will lose $ 3,850 a year as offers stop.
The projections of the Institute of Financial Research show that the abandonment of this proposal may cost £ 2.3 billion and contribute to the black hole in public finances.
Other elements in the new law include the haiage of the health meeting in the universal loan for new plaintiffs from 2026 and instilling the assessment of working capability.
Watering the universal credit board will cost £ 2.5 billion.
When the government already promises to reversed the winter fuel allowance cuts, two children are ready to remove the benefit limit and spend billions of more defenses, while tax increases or expenditure cuts in other places will almost absolutely need.

Eduin Latimer, a senior economist in IFS, said: ‘Return these measures a little, will increase the support for plaintiffs with health conditions, but naturally it will require the government to increase taxes or find another savings in other places.’
Ben Caswell from the National Institute of Economic and Social Studies added: ‘If the government could not pass this bill, the cost would be large enough to wipe the narrow coup of £ 9.9 billion against the stability rule of the chancelle.
This means that it will face difficult choice to reduce existing expenditures or to increase tax. ‘
Toray Shadow Chancellor Mel Stide, ‘This, this weak workers’ government in the list of increasing U -turns in the last.’
When asked what benefits to reduce the welfare bill, TORY leader Kemi Badenoch: ‘Now we have people claiming claims of disability for things like concern.
‘This is not what is not designed for prosperity. The system is playing games.
‘Probably for the conditions that should not prosper, and at the same time, there are people who have no conditions and determine that you can use the system.’
