Dozens of Labour MPs back fresh calls to vote down Starmer's welfare bill
Tuesday, 1 July 2025 Nearly 40 LabourMPs have signalled they are still prepared to vote against Sir Keir Starmer's welfare cuts, despite the prime minister offering significant concessions to avoid a damaging rebellion.
Sir Keir Starmer says the welfare bill ends mandatory reassessment for those with severe disabilities, declaring it the "right thing to do". The prime minister was met with several jeers from the chamber upon arriving at PMQs on Wednesday.
