Keir Starmer has confirmed he will have a “conversation” with Labour rebels over benefit cuts. The Prime Minister said he wants his welfare reforms to be “implemented with Labour values of fairness”. It comes as more than 120 Labour MPs – 12 of them Scottish – have signed an amendment against Labour’s plans to slash Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Universal Credit (UC). They will get a chance to vote on the bill and amendment on Tuesday. Starmer told the Commons on Thursday morning: 鈥淥n social security, I recognise there is a consensus across the House on the urgent need for reform of our welfare system, because the British people deserve protection and dignity when they are unable to work and supported to work when they can. 鈥淎t the moment, they are failed every single day by the broken system created by the Conservatives, which achieves neither. 鈥淚 know colleagues across the House are eager to start fixing that, and so am I, and that all colleagues want to get this right, and so do I. 鈥淲e want to see reform implemented with Labour values of fairness. That conversation will continue in the coming days, so we can begin making change together on Tuesday.鈥 The amendment supported by the rebels would give them an opportunity to reject the welfare reform bill. The wording backs the 鈥渘eed for the reform of the social security system鈥 but criticises the lack of a 鈥渇ormal consultation鈥 with disabled people and warns of the impact on poverty levels. They also hit out at their own Government for not publishing an 鈥渁ssessment of the impact of these reforms on health or care needs鈥. The Scottish Labour sceptics are Richard Baker, Scott Arthur, Euan Stainbank, Brian Leishman, Lilian Jones, Tracy Gilbert, Elaine Stewart, Kirsteen Sullivan and Patricia Ferguson. Maureen Burke, Martin Rhodes and Irene Campbell have since added their names. The Record understands there are other MPs who have not signed the amendment who may not back the cuts in a vote next week. There are 11 Scottish MPs in the UK Government – plus two other MPs who are ‘mission champions’ – who would almost definitely have to resign from their roles to rebel . Labour MP Brian Leishman said on Thursday morning that concessions are “not enough”. But other Scottish Labour MPs have said they are waiting for detail of the Government’s concessions.
