Keir Starmer faces PMQs today amid major anger among Labour MPs over plans to slash billions from benefits.
The PM could face difficult questions from his own backbenchers as the government seeks to cut £5billion from Personal Independence Payment (PIP) – a benefit that helps people with extra living and mobility costs linked to their disability.
In rare public criticism of the Labour government, the Trades Union Congress (TUC) said on Wednesday that leaked plans to slash disability support “is not the solution”.
General Secretary Paul Nowak warned: “A major lesson from the Tory years is that austerity damaged the nation’s health. We must not make the same mistake again. Pushing disabled people into hardship with cuts to support will only make the current challenges worse – and will not win public support.”
The PM may also face questions over Donald Trump’s decision to slap global tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports to the US. The UK has suggested there will be no “knee-jerk” reaction from the British government, which is pushing for an economic deal with the Trump White House to eliminate tariffs.
