Today the Labour Party blocked my Bill to compensate WASPI campaigners. We’ll be back. For as long it takes. #WASPI

Every parent will recognise the bike at the start of this clip. It’s the one we teach our bairns to ride on. It’s the one we carry when their little legs get tired. Look at what our ‘allies’ do to those bikes in Gaza.

Like almost all MPs I don’t know why the Chancellor was upset in the Chamber today, but I do hope she is okay and back to her duties this afternoon. Seeing another person in distress is always very difficult, and we are wishing her well.

Don’t forget, Anas Sarwar has repeatedly defended the very disability cuts that Keir Starmer is now rowing back on. A follower, not a leader.

Thought he was going to end the chaos?.
UPDATE: In a major u-turn, Keir Starmer has now scrapped the entire PIP section of the welfare bill. The Timms review will report back in autumn 2026 and, as it is being conducted with disability groups, is highly unlikely to opt for four-point eligibility criteria. This.

A two-tier disability system. I’ll be voting against it. But will Labour MPs from Scotland?

A two-tier disability system. Where the young will be treated worse than the old. Awful.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE 🚨. Keir Starmer has caved to welfare rebels and agreed existing disability claimants will **keep** their benefits. Huge concession. Agreed in talks with Labour rebel leaders today. Under original plan, 800,000 people who currently get the Personal Independence.

Hopefully the start of the end of Labour’s attack on disabled people. They should pull this rotten Bill now to save themselves the shame of forcing it to a vote next week.
Here is the text of the amendment which would - in effect - kill the government's welfare reforms. Amendment will be published tomorrow

Right thing to do? No answer. Legal? No answer. Vote in Parliament? No answer. Treating the public like fools.

Labour MPs from Scotland likely more interested in filling the vacancy than opposing the cuts.
Breaking: Blow for Keir Starmer as Labour frontbencher quits over disability benefit cuts. ". I know I will not be able to do the job that is required of me and whip - or indeed vote - for reforms which include cuts to disabled people's finances.".

It was a nice thing to do, who cares.
Keir Starmer picked up dropped papers to avoid White House security stepping in .

🎯 from @PeteWishart at #PMQs.
Deputy PM Angela Rayner does not rule out Labour MPs who rebel against the welfare bill losing party whip. #DPMQs.
