WELFARE
Rachel Reeves and Welfare Secretary Liz Kendall delivered £5billion of cuts to the benefits bill last week.
This will make up some of the £10billion wiped out from the Chancellor’s headroom.
The impact of the cuts will be revealed today when an assessment is published – likely to spark fury in Labour ranks.
Labour MPs are lobbying the government so individuals don’t lose several thousand pounds as part of the cuts.
The health and disability bill which sits at £65billion is expected to rocket to £100billion over the next four years.
