The Labour Party government will offer concessions to MPs amid a major rebellion over the Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP ) planned welfare cuts. Reports late on Wednesday suggest Downing Street is understood to be considering watering down changes. The move from the Labour Party government comes as more than 120 MPs are poised to rebel against the government next Tuesday. Cabinet ministers believe the bill has “no chance of passing in its current form”, reports the Guardian newspaper. Sources said there was a considerable difference of opinion within government. 鈥淭here is a camp for pulling it, a camp for concession and a small but insane camp for ploughing on,鈥 one said.

The [frontbenchers] who were hoping that today [Wednesday] would see some kind of concession are now being put in a difficult position by him 鈥 and the whips know about some of them.鈥 Concessions under consideration include changes to the points needed for eligibility for personal independence payments (Pip), a benefit paid to those both in and out of work. 鈥淚鈥檓 comfortable reading the room and delivering the change the country needs,鈥 Starmer said on Wednesday. 鈥淲e鈥檝e got a strong Labour government with a huge majority to deliver on our manifesto commitments. And that鈥檚 the work that we did over many years to win the election. 鈥淣ow we start the work over many years to change the country. Having changed the party, we now change the country. 鈥淎nd is it tough going? Are there plenty of people and noises off? Yes, of course, there always are, there always have been, there always will be. But the important thing is to focus on the change that we want to bring about.鈥 MPs also want to see changes made to other reforms affecting the health top-up for universal credit which applies to those who cannot work. Angela Rayner told MPs the government would not delay or abandon the vote. 鈥淲e鈥檙e investing 拢1bn into tailored employment support, a right to try to help more people back into work, and ending reassessments for the most severely disabled who will never be able to work,鈥 she said. 鈥淲e won鈥檛 walk away and stand by and abandon millions of people trapped in the failing system left behind by [the shadow chancellor, Mel Stride] and his colleagues.鈥 Pushed by Stride to recommit to a vote on Tuesday, she added: 鈥淚 don鈥檛 know if he listened to what I said 鈥 but what I can tell him, and I don鈥檛 need a script, we will go ahead on Tuesday.鈥 Stride told MPs on Wednesday: 鈥淲e will help her [Rayner] to get their bill through, if they can commit to actually reducing the welfare bill and getting people off benefits and into work.鈥 He later added: 鈥淭he bill will see the number of people on welfare rising for every single year.鈥 One option is to include a promise to speed up payment of funds to help people back into work. Speaking on his way to the Nato summit in The Hague, the prime minister defended plans to tighten the eligibility criteria for personal independence payment (Pip), arguing that the current system was unsustainable. 鈥淭here is a clear moral case, which is: the current system doesn鈥檛 help those who want to get into work,鈥 Starmer said. 鈥淚t traps people. I think it鈥檚 1,000 people a day going on to Pip. The additions to Pip each year are the equivalent of a city the size of Leicester. That is not a system that can be left unreformed.鈥 When asked if he would consider delaying the vote due to the scale of opposition, Starmer replied: 鈥淲e were elected to change what is broken in our country. The welfare system is broken, and that鈥檚 why we will press ahead with our reforms. It鈥檚 very important that we do so, because the current system is not working for anybody.鈥 Another is offering assurances that reviews of policies in this area will be published soon. It comes after London Mayor Sadiq Khan joined the rebellion. Khan said: 鈥淚 have always said that more must be done to support people to go from relying on benefits to getting back into work. It鈥檚 vital for a healthy and prosperous London. What we can鈥檛 do is take away the vital safety net that so many vulnerable and disabled Londoners rely upon.鈥 Bigger steps, such as removing the most disputed element of the new legislation 鈥 the disability benefit cuts 鈥 could be needed. Analysis for the Greater London Authority found that Londoners would lose 拢820m in total as a result of the proposed changes to Pip and universal credit, with 360,000 mostly poor, vulnerable and disabled people facing a reduction in their incomes. It found the tighter eligibility criteria for Pip would affect up to 46% of current claimants and mean disabled Londoners face losses of between 拢3,800 and 拢5,700 per year. The Telegraph reports even delaying the vote could be needed to avoid defeat. It comes after Frances Ryan in the Guardian argued: “This ruthless pursuit of disabled people has damaged Labour 鈥 no matter what happens next.” 鈥淥f course it is ultimately public opinion that matters, but you鈥檝e got to get to that point first, and you need the parliamentary party to do that,鈥 said one critic. 鈥淭hey thought they could make MPs blink first, but it doesn鈥檛 look like they鈥檙e going to.鈥
