Keir Starmer hit by new major rebellion as 49 Labour MPs refuse to back his government's welfare cuts - was YOURS among them?
Ministers had taken drastic action as furious MPs lined up in the Commons to attack the plan to make it harder to claim Personal Independence Payments (Pip) and health-related universal credit.
But even after a pledge to remove the Pip elements entirely, pending a review expected to take until next summer, almost 50 refused to back the shell of what was left.
The total of 49 was higher than the 44 who had backed a 'reasoned amendment' to the bell - a piece of Commons machinery which would have killed it off completely.
Labour MP Clive Efford, who voted against the Bill and co-signed an amendment that would have halted it at second reading, said the Government's late minute U-turn was not a good look to the public.
The MP for Eltham and Chislehurst said: 'I've never seen a Bill in front of the House being salami sliced bit-by-bit like this, in order to get it over the line. It's definitely not the way to produce legislation.
'I mean I don't know what disabled people looking on will have made of today's process, but it didn't put the Government in a good light.'
He said he was unsurprised the Government won the vote, but said the Government had been sent a message about the strength of opposition.
In 12 hours of carnage at Westminster, the PM's carefully-assembled truce with rebels dramatically disintegrated.
Who are the Labour rebels who voted against the welfare bill?
Here is a full list of the Labour rebels who voted against the Bill at second reading:
Rosena Allin-Khan (Tooting)
Paula Barker (Liverpool Wavertree)
Lee Barron (Corby and East Northamptonshire)
Lorraine Beavers (Blackpool North and Fleetwood)
Olivia Blake (Sheffield Hallam)
Richard Burgon (Leeds East)
Ian Byrne (Liverpool West Derby)
Irene Campbell (North Ayrshire and Arran)
Lizzi Collinge (Morecambe and Lunesdale)
Stella Creasy (Walthamstow)
Peter Dowd (Bootle)
Neil Duncan-Jordan (Poole)
Cat Eccles (Stourbridge)
Clive Efford (Eltham and Chislehurst)
Mary Kelly Foy (City of Durham)
Tracy Gilbert (Edinburgh North and Leith)
Mary Glindon (Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend)
Chris Hinchliff (North East Hertfordshire)
Imran Hussain (Bradford East)
Terry Jermy (South West Norfolk)
Kim Johnson (Liverpool Riverside)
Ian Lavery (Blyth and Ashington)
Brian Leishman (Alloa and Grangemouth)
Emma Lewell (South Shields)
Clive Lewis (Norwich South)
Rebecca Long Bailey (Salford)
Rachael Maskell (York Central)
Andy McDonald (Middlesbrough and Thornaby East)
Navendu Mishra (Stockport)
Abtisam Mohamed (Sheffield Central)
Grahame Morris (Easington)
Margaret Mullane (Dagenham and Rainham)
Simon Opher (Stroud)
Kate Osamor (Edmonton and Winchmore Hill)
Kate Osborne (Jarrow and Gateshead East)
Richard Quigley (Isle of Wight West)
Bell Ribeiro-Addy (Clapham and Brixton Hill)
Marie Rimmer (St Helens South and Whiston)
Cat Smith (Lancaster and Wyre)
Euan Stainbank (Falkirk)
Graham Stringer (Blackley and Middleton South)
Marie Tidball (Penistone and Stocksbridge)
Jon Trickett (Normanton and Hemsworth)
Derek Twigg (Widnes and Halewood)
Chris Webb (Blackpool South)
Nadia Whittome (Nottingham East)
Steve Witherden (Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr)
Marsha De Cordova (Battersea)
Diane Abbott (Hackney North and Stoke Newington)
'The Government's got a huge majority, it takes a lot to defeat. It's nonetheless a significant number of us made a stand, which I mean needed to be done.'
Those voting against it included the former shadow minister for the disabled, Marsha de Cordova.
Vicky Foxcroft, who quit as a whip last week because of concerns about the bill, voted for it in its weakened state.
Despite being titled the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill, the legislation now contains no measures relating to Pip.
The respected IFS think-tank said that accounted for £2.6billion of the savings the government had hoped for by 2029-30. Curbs to the health element of Universal Credit should have eased spending by £1.7billion, but that was due to be offset by £1.8billion on raising the basic rate.
Researcher Tom Waters said that left an additional cost of £100million by 2029-30.
Agonisingly for Chancellor Rachel Reeves, the delay almost certainly means the Office for Budget Responsibility cannot 'score' the savings in time for her Budget.
As a result the black hole in the government's books is likely to be even bigger than feared. Concerns were already running high that Ms Reeves will have to hike taxes to stabilised the public finances.
In 12 hours of carnage at Westminster, the PM's carefully-assembled truce with rebels dramatically disintegrated.
Facing the threat of a massive revolt, Sir Keir opted make yet another major concession just 90 minutes before the vote.
Ministers pledged that changes to disability handouts will not be finalised until after a review - meaning that the package as it stands will actually make the current system more expensive than before.
Sir Keir - who is days away from marking the first anniversary of his election landslide - had already agreed that the benefits curbs would only apply to new claimants.
There was mocking laughter in the chamber as Social Security Minister Stephen Timms was asked how much the proposals would save now, and merely replied that the government would 'set out figures in the usual way'.
Despite the humiliating manoeuvres, when the vote was held 44 Labour MPs still backed the fatal amendment and others abstained - although it was comfortably defeated by 328 to 149.
Shortly afterwards the Bill cleared second reading stage by 335 to 260, majority 75. It will now be scrutinised at committee.
A clearly crestfallen Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall tried to put a brave face on the shambles afterwards, acknowledging there were 'lessons to be learned' but the party was '100 per cent' behind the PM.
'I think people are 100 per cent behind a Prime Minister that secured the first Labour Government in 14 years,' she said.
But rebel Labour MP Brian Leishman said ministers should still withdraw the Bill despite it passing second reading.
The MP for Alloa and Grangemouth had also voted in favour of the cross-party amendment that would have stopped the Bill before second reading.
He said: 'Today was a prime example in how not to legislate.
'A shambolic afternoon with policy being made up off the cuff and on the notion of promises to come.
'The Government should do the honourable and decent thing and withdraw this dreadful Bill.'
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch accused ministers of 'utter capitulation' and said the legislation was now 'pointless'.

Sir Keir Starmer and EU leaders will join Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy at White House peace talks
Sir Keir Starmer will be accompanying Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Washington tomorrow for his crunch meeting with Donald Trump. He will join European leaders including France's president Emmanuel Macron, Italy's PM Giorgia Meloni and Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz after the US president reportedly extended an invitation to them. Also set to attend the talk at the White House are NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission. This comes after Vladimir Putin reportedly made demands to take control of the key eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine during his summit with Mr Trump as a condition for ending the war. In exchange, Mr Putin would give up other Ukrainian territories held by his troops, according to several news reports citing sources close to the matter. Mr Trump is said to be planning to urge Mr Zelenskyy to agree to the conditions as part of a peace deal to end the war, despite the Ukrainian president previously ruling out formally handing any territory to Moscow, as such a move would deprive Ukraine of defensive lines and open the way for Moscow to conduct further offensives. Russia already controls a fifth of Ukraine, including about three-quarters of Donetsk province, which it first entered in 2014. European leaders who make up the "coalition of the willing" are set to hold a conference call today ahead of the crunch talks between Mr Trump and Mr Zelenskyy, which some coalition members are set to attend. They are expected to discuss how to bring Mr Zelenskyy into talks after Mr Trump and Mr Putin's meeting saw him left out in the cold. In coordinated statements following the Alaska summit, European leaders said Mr Zelenskyy must play a greater role in future talks, and that peace cannot be achieved without him. The US president said the Washington talk with Mr Zelenskyy could potentially pave the way for a three-way meeting with Mr Putin. On Saturday, Downing Street insisted Sir Keir and other allies stand ready to support the next phase of talks to end the war. "At the meeting that will take place at the White House tomorrow, the Prime Minister, with other European partners, stands ready to support this next phase of further talks and will reaffirm that his backing for Ukraine will continue as long as it takes," a statement from No 10 said.

Starmer hails Zelensky's desire for ‘just peace' amid fears of Russian land grab
Sir Keir Starmer has hailed Volodymyr Zelensky's desire for a 'just and lasting peace' in Ukraine, amid worries a Russian land grab could result from negotiations to end the war. The Prime Minister and French President Emmanuel Macron chaired a meeting of the coalition of the willing on Sunday afternoon, where European leaders prepared for a meeting with Donald Trump alongside Mr Zelensky in Washington on Monday. European leaders appear poised to join Mr Zelensky in a show of solidarity with the Ukrainian president, after his last encounter with his American counterpart in the Oval Office resulted in a diplomatic crisis. Giving a readout of the video call between coalition allies, a Downing Street spokesman said: 'The leaders reaffirmed their continued support to Ukraine, and praised President Zelensky's desire for a just and lasting peace as he prepares for further consultations with President Trump in Washington DC. 'The leaders also commended President Trump's commitment to providing security guarantees to Ukraine, in which the coalition of the willing will play a vital role through the Multinational Force Ukraine, among other measures. 'They re-emphasised the readiness to deploy a reassurance force once hostilities have ceased, and to help secure Ukraine's skies and seas and regenerate Ukraine's armed forces.'

Zelenskyy faces daunting trip to the White House – but this time he will not be alone
Volodymyr Zelenskyy will make his second visit to the White House on Monday with the daunting task of reversing the damage done to Ukraine's security prospects by Friday's Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. Zelenskyy will not, however, be alone as he was on his first trip to the White House in February when he was ambushed and humiliated by Donald Trump and Vice-President JD Vance, who sought to bully him into capitulation to Moscow's demands. This time the Ukrainian leader comes to Washington flanked by a dream team of European leaders, including Britain's Keir Starmer, Germany's Friedrich Merz and France's Emmanuel Macron, who combine economic and military clout with proven rapport with Trump. Their mission will be to try to use their individual and combined influence to coax the president out of the pro-Russian positions he adopted after just a couple of hours under Putin's sway in the sub-Arctic on Friday. To do that, they will have to project a more convincing sense of resolve and common purpose than they have managed hitherto, argued Ben Rhodes, a former adviser to Barack Obama. 'My advice would be to not capitulate to Trump,' Rhodes said. 'He has grown all too accustomed to people he perceives as weaker bending to his will, which is something that Putin does not do … Zelenskyy cannot be expected to do this alone, as that's what got him into that last mess in the Oval Office. Zelenskyy needs Europe. And the Europeans need to show a strength to stand up to Trump which they have not really shown yet.' Macron and Merz will accompany Zelenskyy on Monday as embodiments of the two pillars of Europe, the French-German axis that is at the core of the EU. Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, will be a reminder of Europe's combined importance as an economic juggernaut. Trump struck a EU-US trade deal with her just three weeks ago in Scotland, and hailed the relationship as 'the biggest trading partnership in the world'. Brett Bruen, a former White House director of global engagement, said the Europeans should focus on economics and use the White House meeting 'as a chance to remind Trump how small Russia's economy is vis-a-vis the EU and the UK and other western partners.' The principal role in Team Zelenskyy of Italy's prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, will be as a useful bridge: a European far-rightwinger who Trump counts as a friend but who also supports Ukrainian sovereignty. The Finnish president, Alexander Stubb, represents an even smaller European state but he is on the team because he managed to establish an unexpectedly warm relationship with Trump. The Finn cultivated his access to the president by hastily polishing up his rusty golfing skills for an impromptu trip to Florida in March for a round with Trump, on the recommendation of the Republican senator Lindsey Graham. Stubb used the occasion to offer the perspective of Russia's closest European neighbour, urging Trump not to trust Vladimir Putin. Starmer combines national clout and personal rapport in some measure. Trump has gone out of his way to emphasise their good relations, despite Starmer's 'liberal' outlook, and the president arguably has an incentive not to sour relations ahead of a state visit to the UK next month, an extravaganza in which Trump sets high store. Mark Rutte also brings the influence of high office, as Nato secretary general, with a proven track record of corralling Trump with honeyed words, at one point appointing him the 'daddy' among world leaders, helping avoid any disastrous outbursts at the Nato summit in June. 'A lot of people have learned the lessons of Trump, in terms of how you handle him,' said Kim Darroch, who was the UK ambassador to Washington in Trump's first term. 'There will be a lot of flattery. It's tiresome but it's necessary: it gets you to first base. You tell him how well he's doing, how glad everyone is that he is leading the west to find a solution to the war. But then you get onto the substance.' The fact that all these leaders have cleared their diaries to fly to Washington at short notice is a measure of how alarmed they were by Friday's Trump-Putin summit in Anchorage. The Russian president, wanted by the international criminal court for war crimes in the wake of his unprovoked full invasion of Ukraine, was feted with a red carpet and a personal round of applause from Trump, who allowed him to speak first after the truncated abortive meeting and abruptly dropped his previous insistence on a ceasefire. Instead, the US president uncritically accepted Putin's preference to move straight to a comprehensive peace deal, putting the onus on Ukraine to make territorial concessions. One diplomatic observer likened the prospect of Monday's White House showdown in the shadow of Alaska to a football team coming out for a second half trailing 0-3 but with a raft of super-substitutes on the field. The first challenge will be staying together and sticking to the same talking points. 'Put up a united front and speak from one set of points,' advised Ivo Daalder, a former US ambassador to Nato. 'The goal is to get Trump to agree and side with them. But the message must be that their position is real, won't change, and if Trump doesn't agree they will pursue their path on their own.' 'Trump won't have the patience to listen to the same pitch a dozen times,' Darroch said. 'So for the initial round they probably need to select a couple of European speakers alongside Zelenskyy: perhaps Rutte as secretary general of Nato and Macron as the senior European national leader. 'My advice to Starmer would be to wait and see how the conversation goes,' Darroch added. 'If it goes badly off-track, or gets a bit spiky, he can intervene to pull it back on course, or calm it down, or just try to build some bridges. Because the risk is that if Trump thinks that the whole exercise is basically about telling him he's got it wrong, he could react badly or just close the discussion down.' On the way into the White House, Zelenskyy and his European backers can steel themselves with knowledge that not all is lost. The worst fear was that Trump would strike a deal with Putin in Alaska which would be presented as a fait accompli to Kyiv. That did not happen. Furthermore, they have potential allies inside the Trump administration. Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, is a traditional Republican whose instincts towards Russia are hawkish, although he has a record of going along with the flow of the president's impulses. On Sunday, Rubio gave the arriving delegation some hope, insisting to NBC that a ceasefire is 'not off the table' and confirming that the US is interested in contributing to western security guarantees to Ukraine in the event of a peace deal, acknowledging 'it's one of their fundamental demands is that if this war were to end, they have to make sure this never happens again'. The arrival of so many European luminaries in Washington is a sign of panic, in part, but also of united resolve. Arguably the only way the delegation could be strengthened would be with the inclusion of a Norwegian. Last week, Trump is reported to have cold-called the Norwegian foreign minister (and former Nato secretary general) Jens Stoltenberg, catching him by surprise on his mobile while he was out on the street. The president is said to have pressed Stoltenberg on his obsession with winning a Nobel peace prize, an award decided by a Norwegian parliamentary-appointed committee. One of the cards Trump's visitors will have in their hands on Monday is a reminder that cosying up to Putin is unlikely to get him the Nobel he craves. 'Second-term Trump has his eye on his place in the history books,' Darroch said. 'This is a point which needs to be put across delicately, but history will be kind to him if he delivers a fair peace in Ukraine; less so if he presses for a capitulation.'
