U.K GOV. Welfare Bill Reform Challenge By 100 Labour MP’s As Chancellor Calls For PM Support

Ace Breaking News – Today’s Headlines: Labour Rebel MP’s Prepare to Rebel as Chancellor Calls to Support

Labour rebels at the ready – and Badenoch offers a way out

“Rachel Reeves has warned Labour MPs they will devastate the government if they vote against plans to cut Britain’s £80 billion sickness benefits bill, amid a last-ditch effort to salvage the reforms. In an attempt to see off a rebellion by more than a hundred Labour backbenchers, the chancellor told MPs in a series of calls that defeat would damage Sir Keir Starmer’s authority to such an extent that it had effectively become a confidence vote in the government. Privately, some close to the prime minister are preparing to delay next Tuesday’s vote to buy time and find concessions to win enough of the rebels around. One minister described the mood in government as one of “panic”.” – The Times
