Keir Starmer has doubled down on his plans to slash disability benefits – even as more than 100 Labour MPs vow to block the bill.

The Prime Minister says “the system is broken” and must be reformed – but trade unions, Labour backbenchers, and even ministers are threatening open revolt.

One senior MP says:

💬 “Either we sack him or he sacks Reeves.”

The cuts would target Personal Independence Payments, with £5bn in savings expected. But the backlash is growing louder – and rumours of deselection, whip threats, and ministerial resignations are swirling.

Starmer insists:

🗣 “This is not a confidence vote.”

But as pressure mounts from both inside and outside the party, is Labour on the verge of a civil war?

📅 MPs vote next Tuesday.
