Keir Starmer has finally forced his gutted welfare proposals through the House of Commons - despite another Labour revolt.

Some 47 backbenchers rebelled against the changes, even though the PM had already caved in on all the key elements.

The latest humiliation came after ministers agreed disabled people will play a key role in a review of the system.

The PM has already humiliatingly dropped all measures on Personal Independence Payment (Pip) from the text to avoid defeat at the hands of rebels.

As a result the measures are expected to cost taxpayers more by 2029, instead of the £5billion of savings hoped for by ministers. That would still only have slowed the alarming surge in spending on health and disability benefits.
