The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has come under fire for changes to benefits which are “worse” than anything under the Tories . The Labour Party government wants to make 拢5 billion worth of savings from Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Universal Credit . 鈥淎s a community we feel totally let down and these last-minute concessions do nothing to make up for that,鈥 Andy Mitchell, a disability campaigner and a member of Unite Community, says. 鈥淢y friends are scared. Some have spoken about suicide. This is worse than anything that happened under the Tories.鈥 It comes after the Labour whip who resigned in protest against disability benefit cuts has said Keir Starmer鈥檚 concessions do not yet go far enough to win her over, as No 10 launched a fresh attempt to stem the revolt against its welfare bill.

This isn鈥檛 just about warm words. This is about making sure we get policy right.” 鈥淭his is the problem. And this is why a lot of people have said, 鈥楥an we delay this? Can we pause this until we ensure that we properly get it right?鈥 Right now, we鈥檙e kind of tinkering in terms of things to make it the least worst situation we can, and we need to learn lessons from that and make sure that we get these things right going forward,鈥 she told the Guardian. This weekend, Sir Keir Starmer acknowledged he had not got it right, and said he would have wanted to make the concessions earlier. 鈥淚鈥檇 have liked to get to a better position with colleagues sooner than we did,鈥 Starmer said in an interview with the Sunday Times . 鈥淚鈥檓 putting this as context rather than an excuse. 鈥淚 was heavily focused on what was happening with Nato and the Middle East all weekend. From the moment I got back from the G7, I went straight into a Cobra meeting. My full attention really bore down on this on Thursday. At that point, we were able to move relatively quickly.鈥 Wes Streeting, the health secretary, said he was confident the government would win the vote on Tuesday, telling Sky News鈥檚 Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips that the changes 鈥渉ave put us in a much better position鈥. 鈥淎s a result of the changes, it means anyone watching this morning who鈥檚 in receipt of personal independence payments now has the peace of mind of knowing that their situation is protected,鈥 he said.
