Sir ker stormer The biggest shock for your leadership since then Coming to power a year ago He was then forced to give up a major plank Controversial profit deduction To get them through Parliament.
While his welfare reform bill passed his second reading by 335 votes – most of the 75 – the Prime Minister still faced the biggest rebellion of his premierership, in which 49 labor MPs voted to reject the law.
It came after another Final-Khai Declaration Plan to Ban Eligibility for Personal Freedom Payment (PIP) – The central pillar of government reforms was being dropped.
For the first time, the chaotic steps came to the MP for the first time to vote on the Universal Credit and Personal Freedom Payment Bill, when Disability Minister Sir Stephen Tims announced that the change in the PIP planned for November 2026 originally planned for November 2026 until he was reviewed after reviewing the benefits.
Sir Kir was already forced into a U-turn last week when more than 130 Labor MPs signed an amendment, which would have effectively killed the bill. Then only out of the declared concessions were planned to implement difficult eligibility rules on future PIP claimants, the existing recipients were left unaffected. Critics said it would be born for a two -tier system, while its impact assessment of the government stated that 150,000 people would be pushed into poverty by change.
The latest climb will cause a major headache for Chanhel Reaves; The purpose of welfare squeeze was intended to save £ 4.8 billion per year, already falling down to £ 2.3 billion last week. Postponing any change in PIP means that it is now uncertain how much improvement will be saved.
Last night, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) warned that the reform package could eliminate the cost of £ 100m in 2029/30, if the proposals to tighten the eligibility for PIP are scrapped after reviewing the proposals.
Vote followed a stressful debate in which several labor MPs criticized the schemes and demanded many more that they were postponed.
Labor MP Paula Barker for Liverpool Wordartry said: “Being grateful for concessions, it has further bare the inconsistent and quantity of this process. It is the most unqualified spectacle ever that I have ever seen.”
Meanwhile, Ian Lavori stated that the bill “is not fit for the purpose”.
He said, “I have never seen a major commitment in a bill as the minister intervened for a contribution. It is crazy, man. It’s derogatory, man, man. This bill is not fit for purpose”, he said.
Debate, work and pension secretary Liz Kendal said: “I don’t believe it is durable if we want a welfare state that protects those who need our help for generations to come.”
He said: “There is no responsibility to continue our system of social security to continue it, and the risk support for it is so frightening that it is no longer to provide security trap for those who can never work, and who require our help and support.”
But he met an amendment placed by Labor Backbehanchar Rachel Maskail with immediate opposition, which would have killed the bill.
He described the society as a “diastopian”, saying that the government should introduce money tax instead of deducting profit.
The amendment to the debris of Ms. Maskal was eventually voted – but was supported by 42 labor MPs, highlighting the scale of obstruction within Sir Keir’s party.
Emma Level, one of the 36 signators of Mskel’s logical amendment, told the Commons, “I am sad that we have ended here because no matter what, regardless of the concessions, a vote for this bill today is a vote for 150,000 people to submerge 150,000 people and tighten the eligibility norms for those who need the most support.
He said: “We are once again paying the price to people with disabilities for financial disturbances that the party left us. As it stands, we are being asked to vote blindly today.”
Among many labor MPs, who stood to criticize the schemes, Dr. Mary Tidball was a highly emotional contribution by a disabled MP.
Holding tears back, he said: “[During the Tory austerity years] I then vowed that I can do everything to create a country that treats people with dignity and respect.
“With a heavy, broken heart that I will vote against the bill today. As Vivek I need my components to know that I cannot support those changes as the current draft is currently prepared.”
Vote means that the law now goes to the next stage in Parliament, but leaves the possibility of another major rebellion for its third and final reading after summer.
The government had announced plans earlier this year, but disability groups have criticized it to fail to consult, especially on plans to make personal freedom payments (PIPs).
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch demanded to capitalize on the inconvenience of Sir Keer, alleging “supreme capitulations” and said that the law was now “meaningless”.
He said, “They should do it without it, do their homework, and something should come back seriously. Starrer cannot rule”, he said.
