Government whip quits over disability benefit cuts
Labour MP Vicky Foxcroft resigns as government whip over cuts to disability benefits, highlighting concerns over personal independence payments (Pips) and universal credit reductions. The UK government defends the changes, stating they aim to fix a "broken welfare system" and support those capable of working while protecting the most vulnerable. With over 100 Labour MPs expressing worry about the bill, potential rebellion looms within the government ahead of the upcoming vote.
