UK's Starmer defeats wrecking amendment on welfare reform
Several lawmakers tabled a "reasoned amendment," used to express opposition to a proposed law, to the welfare reforms, which if it had passed would have halted the bill. The attempt failed with 328 to 149 lawmakers voting against the amendment.
Lawmakers will immediately hold another vote on whether or not to progress the bill to the next stages of the parliamentary process. If the government also wins that vote, those next stages are scheduled for July 9.

GWR rapid-charging battery train trial successful
Battery-powered trains could be used more frequently after a successful trial by Great Western Railway (GWR).The rail company says using former underground trains and a rapid charging system has shown the technology could replace its existing diesel year-long trial was held in west London but the trains will eventually be rolled out in the Thames says it can now prove the concept works and hopes to take the initiative to government. GWR's railway franchise includes the west and south west of England, as well as routes between London and Didcot, Oxford, Reading and trains use an onboard FastCharge battery that delivers the equivalent of a full charge for a car in 85 director Simon Green said: "...we are at a position where we understand how the technology works, the fact the technology can work in many different contexts as well."Going forward, we think it's a viable technology for application across wider parts of the Great Western network and the national UK rail network as well." The rapid charging system works by installing huge trackside batteries, which are cheaper than fitting overhead the train pulls into the station, two shoes are extended to live rails between the tracks, topping up the onboard executive summary of the trial from GWR said: "The success of the trial allows GWR to look more confidently at a future without diesel, providing alternative options that are cheaper to deliver while achieving the common goal of a cleaner, greener railway."

Tax rises 'increasingly likely' after DWP savings 'dwindle to nothing'
Tax rises 'increasingly likely' after DWP savings 'dwindle to nothing' The benefits cut U-turn has left Rachel Reeves with a £4.8billion hole to fill Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves Labour faces renewed speculation over its tax plans after concessions to the party's welfare rebels left a £4.8 billion hole in Rachel Reeves's spending plans. The concessions, including the last-minute shelving of plans to restrict eligibility for personal independence payments (Pip), were enough to head off the Government's first Commons defeat on Tuesday evening. But they also removed a key plank of Sir Keir Starmer's welfare reform agenda, delaying changes to Pip until after a review of the benefit not due to conclude until autumn 2026. With no clarity on when the changes will be enacted or what they might entail, the Chancellor now faces a fiscal headache as a forecast £4.8 billion in welfare savings have been whittled away to nothing. Economists at the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) and Resolution Foundation think tanks warned that Tuesday's concessions meant Ms Reeves could now expect no 'net savings' by 2029/30 – a key year for meeting her fiscal targets. IFS deputy director Helen Miller said the move had effectively halved the Chancellor's 'margin of error' against her main fiscal rule, once again raising the possibility of tax rises in the autumn. On top of that, a stuttering economy and global instability could mean she has even less room for manoeuvre than expected. Ms Miller said: 'Since departmental spending plans are now effectively locked in, and the Government has already had to row back on planned cuts to pensioner benefits and working-age benefits, tax rises would look increasingly likely.' The Resolution Foundation's Ruth Curtice agreed that there would be no savings in 2029/30, but suggested changes to universal credit – almost the only part of the Government's proposals still standing – could save money in the longer term. On Wednesday morning, the Conservatives accused Labour of making billions in unfunded spending commitments, including both the U-turns on welfare and the partial reinstatement of winter fuel payments. Article continues below In a letter to Ms Reeves, shadow chancellor Sir Mel Stride demanded to know where the money was coming from, asking: 'Will you raise tax or increase borrowing?' Ministers have repeatedly insisted that Labour will not raise taxes on 'working people', specifically income tax, national insurance or VAT. But Ms Reeves also remains committed to her 'iron clad' fiscal rules, which require day-to-day spending to be covered by revenues – not borrowing – in 2029/30. Meanwhile, Sir Keir himself will face a grilling from MPs on Wednesday as he attempts to repair relations with his backbenchers. Article continues below The weekly session of Prime Minister's Questions comes just a day after 49 of his own MPs voted against his welfare reforms – the biggest rebellion of his premiership so far – while several backbenchers described the Government's handling of the issue as 'chaotic' and 'a shambles'.

Keir's first year: Starmer under pressure after a rocky start for Labour
Labour swept back into Downing Street with more than 400 MPs on July 4 last year – clinching a majority just short of Tony Blair's landslide in 1997. A year later, polling expert Professor Sir John Curtice is calling it 'the worst start for any newly elected prime minister'. Sir Keir was accused of setting a gloomy tone at the outset, telling the public that 'things will get worse before they get better' and warning of 'tough choices' and a 'black hole' left in the finances by his predecessors. Soon after, a plan was unveiled to cut back winter fuel payments for pensioners, only for an enduring backlash to see the Government U-turn and widen eligibility months later. This and the recent climbdown over plans for welfare cuts to stave off a backbench rebellion have raised the prospect of further tax rises in the autumn budget as the Chancellor seeks to balance the books. It has also raised the prospect of rebellious MPs being emboldened to continue pushing back on future policy, putting Sir Keir's plans at risk. When it comes to whether voters like him, Sir John has argued that the Government has a 'lack of direction' and that the Prime Minister was 'never especially popular' and that 'the public still don't know what he stands for.' 'The only vision he's really presented is: 'We'll fix the problems the Conservatives left us.' But it's not clear how he wants to change the country,' he told Times Radio. Sir Keir has acknowledged the 'challenge' of 'getting our story across'. 'If I was to list to you all the things we've done, it's a big long list of things. [But] how do we tell the story of what we've done? How do we make sure it's actually felt by working people?' he said in an interview with The Times. He also said he took 'ownership' of all decisions made by his Government, and that he did not get to grips with the growing rebellion over welfare reforms earlier as he was focused on international affairs. Although that rebellion was eventually reduced from 126 MPs to just 49, it required extensive concessions and marked the biggest revolt of his premiership so far, just days before he celebrated his first year in office. He has played a balancing act on the world stage, strengthening ties with the EU while courting US President Donald Trump, who he wooed with an invitation for a second state visit to the UK when they met in the White House. The football-loving Prime Minister lists a 'hat-trick' of deals – an EU 'reset', a deal with India, and an agreement for relief from Mr Trump's tariffs which has been partially implemented – among his key achievements. Sir Keir said he took 'ownership' of all decisions made by his Government (Kin Cheung/PA) He also touts his commitment to get defence spending up to 2.5% of GDP by 2027 – and the new Nato defence and security spending pledge of 5% of GDP by 2035. At home, he is battling the rise of Reform UK. A YouGov megapoll released last week said a general election now could see Reform UK taking more seats than Labour, while the latest Ipsos poll puts Nigel Farage's party at 34% with Labour behind at 25%. Sir Keir framed Reform UK as Labour's main opposition at a press conference in May, saying the Conservative Party has 'run out of road'. It came after Reform UK hoovered up council seats across England in local elections, as well as gaining a seat previously held by Labour in the Runcorn and Helsby by-election. An immigration speech in which the Prime Minister said the UK could become an 'island of strangers' drew criticism and comparisons with Enoch Powell's infamous 'rivers of blood' address that was blamed for inflaming racial tensions in the 1960s. Sir Keir has since expressed regret at the phrasing. But he reportedly plans to target 'authoritarian-leaning' voters with a focus on tackling migration and crime. In recent polling by LabourList of members, 64% said they wanted the party to shift to the left, with only around 2% favouring a move to the right. Sir Keir has pledged to lead a 'decade of national renewal' (Jordan Pettitt/PA) The next test at the polls will be Welsh and Scottish elections in May, at which Reform UK hopes to end Labour's 26-year domination in the Senedd next year. Sir Keir again took aim at the party in a speech to the Welsh Labour conference last weekend, saying Mr Farage has 'no plan at all' for the nation. Political historian Sir Anthony Seldon has praised Sir Keir's ability to react to crises in foreign policy and during the riots last summer, but urged him to counter Reform UK by communicating 'growth' and 'optimism'. 'Show people that you're Prime Minister, show people you've got a story, show people things are getting better across the whole country with growth and then, you know, that will deal with Reform,' he told Sky News. Sir Keir has pledged to lead a 'decade of national renewal' and said that the first year of that has been 'cleaning up that mess' his Government inherited. In a signal he is seeking to put a positive spin on the future, he told business leaders last week: 'We've wiped the state clean, we've stabilised the economy, and now we can go on to the next phase of government, building on that foundation.'
