Reuters“What absolute bloody mess!”
When we tell you that it is the fierce vision of a Labor MP now ready to support the plans of benefits of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, you have an idea of the anger of this row and always provokes.
And there are still many who are not satisfied and who still push for new changes or plan to vote against the measures.
“This is not the resolution that many people want. They shone with a broken bill,” said another deputy.
After the background deputies of the background prove against government reforms on social protection, the Prime Minister has made concessions, saying that the more strict criteria would only apply to new applicants.
“It is clear that at least some will have been pacified by concessions, but there are still very important figures” of adversaries, a third mp texts, adding “it should not be underestimated the potential effect of a weekend of e-mail of voters, district surgeries, etc.”.
Debbie Abrahams, the Labor deputy who chairs the restricted committee of work and pensions, told the BBC: “Concessions are a good start, they are very good concessions and they will protect existing applicants.
“However, there are still concerns about new applicants. It would not be good for me to do nothing just to save the Prime Minister a drawback.”
In other words, she does not yet seem condemned.
Some note that disabled work, which describes itself as “an independent socialist society affiliated with the British Labor Party” always urges all deputies to oppose the plans.
Let’s see how opinion and mood in the parliamentary Labor Party settles on Monday.
What is very clear is that many labor deputies feel very bruised.
Downing Street “See us as a drawback, people to manage, not to listen. When we are invited in No. 10, and that does not often happen, it must be said”, that is how a deputy says.
It is not difficult to find fairly frank assessments of the Prime Minister and his chief of staff Morgan McSweeney.
The worried deputies say that the whips – those who are in charge of party discipline – had raised many concerns with Downing Street.
“They did not think about it or did not think that the new deputies would have the bullets to stand up,” said one.
“This is perhaps the moment when they finally get it,” reflects another, “and they improve to talk to us and listen to us.”
Others fear that the six-month cycle of Chancellor Rachel Reeves seeks to respect her self-imposed tax rules, as they see, will mean that the cup hunting model will continue.
Some people think that the only solution, over time, will be a new chancellor. Voices superior to the government intended that Starmer and Reeves personify the modern Labor Party in the government. These voices say they are considered responsible for the country’s finance is essential and that the rules of reeves help to achieve it.
People around the Prime Minister will be happy that the week is finished and hope to have chosen the slightest option to cope with the insurrection of the benefits.
And they can afford to reflect for a moment on the best part of the year in the government.
Media in PennsylvaniaNext Friday marks the first anniversary of the general elections, and therefore 12 months since Sir Keir Starmer became Prime Minister.
As part of this, he gave an interview to his biographer, the journalist and former communications director of the Labor Party Tom Baldwin Observer.
In this document, Sir Keir said that he was too dark last summer and that he regretted having said “damage” caused to the country by immigration in recent years “is incalculable”. He also said that His remark that immigration risked transforming the United Kingdom into a “island of foreigners” was a mistake And greatly repeats the political strategy of his first year in power.
Having spent the week to fight to repair relationships with a lot to the left and left of the Labor Party, this interview managed to find a way to alienate its allies.
“Scandalous”, “weak”, “which totally lacks in moral fibers” are only some of the words of choice of the Loyalists of Starmer – yes, the Loyalists.
There is a particular anger at the perception that he launches his closest collaborators under a bus.
A source from the higher government said that she was too angry to talk about it.
This leaves the impression that at the moment, the Prime Minister is a politician who can do nothing well.
And also, once again, asks a more important question about what the Prime Minister represents.
If these remarks on immigration were a mistake, what does he really think?
Finding the definition of your second year at No. 10, as well as avoiding cock-ups, will be the key.
