ALT Bar graph depicting results of twenty ninth April Find Out Now poll on Westminster voting intention, with changes from twenty second of April to twenty third of April, Reform UK are on twenty four percent, down one point, the Greens on twenty percent, down one point, the Conservatives on eighteen percent, up two points, Labour on sixteen percent, up one point, and the Lib Dems on eleven percent, no change.
ALT In the event the rebel amendment wins or Downing Street is forced to pull the vote or water down plans to save face, it cannot undo the fact that the government wished to enact these cuts in the first place. If the bill does go ahead, the division lobby will shine a light not simply on the chasms in the Labour party, but between compassion and careerism, bravery and betrayal. Forget the MPs who rebel over cutting disabled people’s benefits – remember those who don’t. This is Labour’s poll tax. Its tuition fees. Its Partygate. Just as the Iraq war was for Tony Blair, disability cuts is the moral stain that will mark Starmer’s government and the party for years to come. Severely disabled and ill people are going to be starved, isolated and degraded as a result of this policy. No Labour MP who backs it should be forgiven.
