       LATEST. Thurs night.  #Starmer has offered Labour MPs “massive concessions” on his #welfarereformbill Rebel MPs said they had been promised significant changes, which will cost the government several billion pounds over the next few years but would shore up the prime minister’s precarious authority.The compromises are: applying the changes only to new claimants and further consultation on the most controversial cuts to disability benefits

       @Geri New claimants affected, so the numbers will grow. I think it’s a shame if the rebels have accepted this. The whole bill needs to go, and it leaves us with Starmer as PM and his odious Front Bench. OTOH, maybe the rebels can now see what they can do, and what it takes, so hopefully they have found their new shiny spine and will finish the job at the soonest possible opportunity.

       @HarriettMB it isn't good enough. I have a medical condition  that came on and entitled me to #PIP at a certain rate. Another lady in a year's time could be in the same predicament but not get what I get, even though we have exactly the same condition.That can not be fair
