       The Prime Minister has signalled that he could concede on welfare reforms amid the looming risk of a rebellion.

       Sir Keir Starmer could face a no-confidence vote if his upcoming welfare Bill is rejected by Parliament, a former work and pensions secretary has warned. Lord Blunkett told LBC’s Andrew Marr: “If they lost it, they’d have to go for a vote of confidence, I think."
