Reeves insists changes to welfare needed as MPs call for flexibility

Rachel Reeves insists on “mastering” the welfare bill, saying the system does not work for taxpayers or recipients.
The Prime Minister’s comments are due to concerns among Labor MPs about the impact of expected cuts on the welfare budget as the government tries to alleviate the concerns of backstage MPs.
Some MPs told the BBC that potential changes in payments for people with disabilities will be “unacceptable” and that they “will not wear it”.
Details of the plan will be unveiled next week by Work and Pension Minister Liz Kendall, and a week after the spring statement, the prime minister announced a reduction in spending cuts announced by the Prime Minister.
Asked about the proposed welfare cuts, Reeves said: “We will have our welfare reform plan, but it is clear that the current system is not good for anyone in the next few years…and, the current system does not work for taxpayers when the welfare bill adds billions of pounds.”
Health and disability-related welfare bills are currently £65 billion per year and are expected to increase to £100 billion over the next four years.
Sir Keir Starmer called the current welfare system unsustainable, irrefutable and unfair, and said the government could not “shruggle shoulders and look away”.
But the uneasiness of how to cut and how far they went.
The MP on the left side of the party called for wealth taxes instead of cutting benefits, but this is the prime minister’s starter.
Some generally loyal workforce members have been expressing their advice on proposing a reassessment of benefits and helping those facing difficulties.
One person said: “Downing Street has questions about the power of feeling.”
Another MP said: “People have to work. The public has the right to reform this.
“But I know from personal experience that some people cannot experience difficulties physically and mentally, so I want to guarantee that they will be treated with dignity and respect.”
In the growing UK working group, MPs also said that Labour has a moral responsibility to reform benefits, whether or not it can save money.
Some have been privately advocating that her financial rules are more flexible to avoid painful cuts.
She believes that Reeves’ self-standard rules will bring stability to the UK’s economy, requiring daily government expenses to be paid in tax revenue rather than borrowing; and declining debt as a share of national income within five years.
The next German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s decision to call for relaxation of these rules is the decision of a centre-right politician Tax-free defense and infrastructure spending exempt from the country’s “debt braking”restrict lending.
Former International Development Minister Annelise Dodds in his resignation letter Call for collective discussion of the minister’s financial rules and tax methods.
This has also been supported by some large unions, especially solidarity.
Ministry of Finance says no
Internal criticism has always been the source of frustration in the financial team.
Sources from the Ministry of Finance highlighted the risks of this approach, noting that Germany’s borrowing costs have risen to 30 years after the announcement of Meltz.
The Prime Minister was scrutinized amid the economic stagnation ahead of the spring statement.
But those close to her think that her critics’ suggestions should also be scrutinized – and forcibly overturning solutions they consider impractical.
If the UK follows the German example, then officials No. 11 believe that this could add £4 billion in borrowing fees – some of the entire sector’s budget – and risk higher interest rates and mortgage payments.
In other words, any hope that some Labor MPs would like to see a change in the UK’s defence posture would release more lending.
Some labor politicians who are worried about the upcoming welfare cuts – not on the left – complain about the lack of Treasury involvement.
The gate of No11 will remain closed.
Government sources noted that back-seat MPs have been meeting with the Policy 10 team and listen to their issues and concerns about the work and pension ministers.
At the ministerial level, people Budget Responsibility Office – Decide whether the government adds up or not, and whether there is a “surplus sale” when complying with fiscal rules.
It was given a “God-like” status, and its economic forecasts were seen as stone pieces, one source suggested.
But Nos. 10 and Nos. 11 know that any interference with this independent institution will be politically toxic, inducing comparisons with Leeds Truss, who had previously ignored OBR. Her disastrous mini budget.
Financial information states that they have Adjusted their financial rules – Change the definition of public debt – without causing anger from OBR.
This has released billions of dollars in investment borrowing.
Until the government makes greater progress in achieving the core task of economic growth, this will reduce the increase in demand for taxes and cut spending, which may not retreat.
Although it’s just a snapshot, January data suggests that politically (if not economically) reversal growth is significantallowing the opposition to push for a change of direction.
Conservatives and liberals want prime ministers to abandon their posts taxes – Employers’ national insurance increaseswill be introduced next month.
They think this hinders growth, but the Prime Minister won’t make a turn.
In fact, her low or no growth prescription will be “further faster” when implementing the already announced policies.
This includes further deregulation and after the repeal of the NHS in England There are more arms in her sight.
When Reeves officials are ill-fated on the economic chart ahead of the spring statement, maybe they can make a new chart.
It shows that those who are in the opposite proportion of economic growth and labor dissent.
