- Monday, 14 April 2025

Sir Keir Starmer is warned that at least 80 Labour MPs are at risk of losing their seats over the Government's welfare cuts, specifically those affecting disability benefits. An analysis suggests there are more than 80 Labour MPs with a majority smaller than the number of disabled people in their seats who might see their benefits cut, including several high-profile ministers such as Wes Streeting and Shabana Mahmood.
