Important story by@romillyweeks. This widely backed reasoned amendment that she says will be tabled tonight has the potential to kill the government’s reforms to PIP snd the disability elements of Universal Credit. This would be a huge humiliation for Keir Starmer and Liz Kendall0 -
What does this all mean ?

I understand a reasoned amendment to the welfare reform bill is being tabled this evening with the backing of 13 labour select Ctte chairs
wording of the amendment ‘That this House, whilst noting the need for the reform of the social security system, and agreeing with the Government’s principles for providing support to people into work and protecting people who cannot work, declines to give a Second Reading to 1/3
The Universal Credit and Personal Independent Payment’ Bill because its provisions have not been subject to a formal consultation with disabled people, or co-produced with them, or their carers; because the Office for Budget Responsibility is not due to publish its analysis 2/3
of the employment impact of these reforms until the autumn of 2025; because the majority of the additional employment support funding will not be in place until the end of the decade; because the Government’s own impact assessment estimates that 250,000 people will be pushed 3/5
into poverty as a result of these provisions, including 50,000 children; because the Government has not published an assessment of the impact of these reforms on health or care needs; because the Government is still awaiting the findings of the Minister for Social Security 4/5

What's the point in having a vote if you're going to try and force everyone to vote one way, it's very undemocratic, I'm surprised this is allowed.

I like the comment “The government hasn’t listened to private concerns so now we will have to address these very public ones “

It still boggles my mind where all these magical jobs are going to come from that will be able to support those who might be able to work in some form. Plenty of non-disabled people out there are struggling to get jobs even without all the obstacles.

A sign of the significance of the challenge to Keir Starmer on these disability cuts: Labour grandee Dame Meg Hillier, chair of the Treasury select committee, is the lead signature on this followed by ten other Labour committee chairs. “Not the usual rebels,” one source tells me
