>The government has won a vote on its benefits bill by 75 votes, but only after offering last-minute concessions to Labour rebels.
>Ministers had already watered down their plans once by reversing some cuts to universal credit and protecting current claimants of personal independence payment (Pip) from stricter eligibility rules.
>However, some Labour MPs were still concerned the new criteria for claiming Pip would come into force before the recommendations of a review could be implemented.
>Fearing a humiliating defeat, the government announced a further U-turn, saying it would not change Pip rules until it had time to consider the review's conclusions.
>The 11th hour changes leave the government's Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill, external gutted of its most significant measures.
>The move undermines Sir Keir's authority, which has been called into question by a series of U-turns recently, and that of Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall.
>It also puts pressure on Chancellor Rachel Reeves' spending plans, as potential savings of around £5bn will now be delayed or lost entirely.
It's an absolute fucking humiliation.

>Sir Keir Starmer is considering softening the government's welfare cuts in an effort to stave off a backbench Labour rebellion.
>The prime minister confirmed earlier that talks with rebels were ongoing over making changes to legislation to deliver the proposals.
>It comes after more than 120 Labour MPs backed an amendment that would stop the bill progressing through Parliament.
>Sir Keir himself has been personally calling some rebel MPs to win them over, ahead of a vote on the bill scheduled for Tuesday next week.
