And how disability benefits support them.- We introduced the

That was Gove's gig, and it is only right that another creep take the reigns of big ear's property empire.
Mickey also looked like Pob!

I think so too. Can't imagine they'd risk the humiliation of defeat on the day of the vote.

FromX BBC
Number of MPs backing the welfare amendment still rising this morning - this really is a very serious crisis for the government.
Politically, it’s hard to see how the government can proceed as planned.
Fiscally, it’s hard to see how they can’t.
Something will have to give

I've stopped reading the government argument, it's all rehashed copy paste of the same rubbish, just in slightly different order. These are people who either know and don't care, or who have no knowledge of the actual disability situation, and so think they are doing a 'moral thing'.
Though you would think the massive backlash would tell them otherwise.I don't think the bill will be pulled. I would be surprised if the speaker didn't select the amendment, though, given the public feeling and the number of MPs that have backed it. 108 is a considerable number given Labour's working majority is 83, depending on other parties. Reform will vote for the bill. Greens and Libs, almost certainly against. DUP and others are unknown (DUP will probably vote for it tbh)…the big questionmark is Badenoch's Tories.
Will they vote it through or use it as an opportunity to strike a real blow against the Labour party? Personally I think they would benefit more from voting against it, rather than for it, as it gives them leeway to push for changes THEY want, while looking better in front of the public than they have done since the election catastrophe. But we'll see. Recent Tory politicians have lacked tactical guile…ever since Boris's post-Brexit purge.2 -
If something has to give, does that mean a proper compromise? Sounds like a stalemate. Hard to imagine either side backing down, particularly after reading Cloth Ears' statement.

If over 100 have signed then that means they’re relying on the Tory’s doesn’t it ?

MP hasn’t signed it. Not surprised, really. I’ve just emailed her urging her to sign and support the amendment.

Tory’s have said they will vote against. I wrote to Kemi several times and reminded her that Tory’s are in third place now but if you support the disabled that’s millions of votes. Her office replied each time . She wasn’t committed to anything but didn’t say she agreed with the cuts.

The times
Several Labour MPs disappointed not to be in first group, emails to table office this morning asking to be added.
All not including the dozen ministers considering their position.
The 170 number I wrote about 5 weeks ago still stands - but now it's almost all public.

At this stage they’d have to ask the Tory’s for support or at least how they plan to vote if it seems he’s losing his majority. IMO
