Cut Welfare and We’ll Rebel, Labour MPs Warn Burnham
28th July 2026
Labour MPs have threatened to rebel if Andy Burnham makes “punitive” cuts to welfare.
The Prime Minister is planning to strip young people of their benefits unless they agree to do training or voluntary work under proposals to reduce the £333bn welfare bill.
However, backbenchers on the party’s Left have warned Mr Burnham against repeating the “failed politics of welfare cuts” and signalled that they would oppose such a move.
And that’s why the UK is doomed to die.
