Keir Starmer

Cuts to some disability benefits will only hit future claimants, not those already on it, it is understood.

Keir Starmer has been personally calling some Labour MPs to win them over ahead of a vote next week.

The prime minster and his team are trying to repair relations with backbenchers over welfare cuts.

Lorraine, whose boys are autistic, fears they will lose benefits if MPs back welfare reforms.

Downing Street says the move is "the biggest strengthening of the UK's nuclear posture in a generation".

The stand-off between rebellious Labour MPs and ministers over benefit changes cannot last.

More than 120 Labour MPs are backing plans to block cuts to disability and sickness-related benefits.

Ten of the party's parliamentarians have signed an amendment seeking to blocking controversial reforms.
