Sounds like they’re starting to get really twitchy about the rebellion.
Keep in mind a few months ago they were laughing off the rebels, seems trying to get people to fold on “killing the disabled” isn’t really working.
edit- go back and look they absolutely mocked the rebels, said “oh they’ll just fall in line”, isn’t happening and are now reduced to the sheer panic of saying “but..if you vote against us we’ll look silly”, utterly hilarious.
When you spend 1 trillion a year but only generate 750 billion in tax, baffles me that we have people in government who think this is a sustainable spending strategy we can continue for decades.
But hey, most of these idiots will be dead before their kids have to pay for their fuckups.
As ever the rebels will be happy to say what mustn’t be done but won’t put their heads above the parapet and say what must be cut or what taxes must be raised instead…
Waiting patiently to see if labour being any fruit. Last laugh always the best laugh
I highly doubt there’s more than a thimbleful of rebels so what is the purpose of these near daily reminders of apparent contrition?
To make the cabinet ministers look more competent when they inevitably pass it.

If 100 Labour MPs rebelling against the Labour frontbench government elected with a landslide majority of 174 (even bigger than the Tory majority of 80 under Boris Johnson) would “devastate it”…
Then this Labour Government does not deserve to continue existing and should fall and pave the way for fresh elections.
The made their bed.
They elected under Labour banner. This your government. Vote to cut welfare and betray your voters. It so delicious I cannot help but sit back and watch.
I voted Reform and will do so again.
Just make it a confidence vote, and do a leadership election, absolutely insane to me that people would vote against this but not suggest what needs to be cut instead? Likelihood is that it would pass, or just 3 line whip it?
If this falls on it’s arse I suggest the Labour Party should rename themselves to the Welfare Party.
This could indeed bring this government to its knees.
I always thought Labour would struggle to make it through 5 years, but I didn’t think they’d be floundering within 12 months.
I will honestly feel so much better once Reeves, Streeting and Starmer are replaced with someone who actually wants to deliver a Labour government.
Disabled people should not be responsible for digging the UK out of the hole made by The Tories. It should be on Tory shoulders.
We need Labour to be lead by people savvy enough to avoid playing into the wants and demands of right wing ghouls.
I’d love to know how many of these rebels have ever had a real job. Or have they all followed the classic Labour career of getting a humanities degree, working for a charity/in local government and then becoming an MP with no real life experience
Would certainly explain why they can’t understand the reality that you can’t keep pissing money up the wall on a ballooning welfare bill without raising taxes even further and killing off what little growth and investment we still have. We are living beyond our means, and most of the country recognises this. I expect the usual left wing response to this will be the meaningless ‘tax the rich’ slogan
If we don’t devastate the poor and disabled the government will feel all sad? awwww
And more cuts could devastate the country… even more so than it already is.
No thanks. I’d rather have a devasted government.
There are a number of reasons why Labour might choose to trigger a general election (via vote of no confidence).
Labour stand for nothing any more. Their policies are contrary to their ideals and their voterbase is leaving in it’s droves.
Farage is eating Labours lunch and Reform are gaining more disgruntled Labour voters than ex Tory voters (since most of them have already left).
The only saving grace is that Reform are not yet ready to fight an election. And the Tories are still in the electoral dirt. So, since labour needs to change direction and loose Starmer, now might be the perfect time to trigger a GE. It will bring Reform to the fight before they’re ready _and_ oust Keir, all with one stroke.
The counter argument is that Reform were able to turn the handle _VERY_ quickly in the local elections due to having a silent majority who are trending towards activism. So it’s a big gamble.
Turkeys shouldn’t vote for Christmas as they say. So honestly these rebels would be better off staying shturm, if they want re-election… That said, perhaps it’s time for something new?
