MPs remain tight-lipped on rumoured cuts to benefits
Cabinet ministers sidestepped questions from the press as they arrived for a meeting with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
When asked whether the government planned to cut benefits, Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall replied, "we're going to be getting people back to work." During the election, Labour promised to increase the employment rate to 80% from its current level of around 75%, which would mean around two million more people in work.
