“Back-Peddling Mode” | Labours PIP Assessment U-Turn BLASTED
Talk’s Mike Graham is joined on Morning Glory by cross-bench peer and former pensions minister Baroness Ros Altmann, to discuss reports fury has seemingly erupted within the Labour party over benefits cuts, as MPs have warned ministers they will ‘devastate lives’.
Work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall has come under fire from her own side, with her facing demands to abandon ‘unfair’ efforts to trim the spiralling costs, with left-wingers instead insisting the government should ‘tax the rich’.
Ros says, “The government is on the ropes a little bit because it has taken away benefits from people who were never expecting a Labour government to do something like this.”
