Labour MPs mount major bid to block benefits changes

Over 100 Labour MPs are backing a move to block the UK government's planned benefits system changes, including cuts to disability and sickness-related payments. They aim to vote on rejecting the welfare reform bill, citing concerns about increased poverty and inadequate impact assessments. If successful, this amendment could impact the progression of the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill through Parliament, potentially leading to a defeat for Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
