A senior minister has insisted that Labor will maintain his election and maintain the promises, left a hole in the government’s plans to spend after a major climb on welfare changes.
Last night, the ministers offered the final-matches to the rebel Labor MPs to pass a welfare bill, which was originally intended to make £ 5BN per year in saving profit by 2030.
Concessions means that savings will now be completely delayed or lost, which puts pressure on Chancellor Rachel Reves before the autumn budget.
Cabinet Minister Pat Macfeden told the BBC that there would be “financial results” for the decision to reduce the deduction employed for disability and health benefits.
But the minister denied an increase in income tax, national insurance or VAT in response to the government’s decisions on Kalyan.
“I am not going to speculate on the budget,” McFaden said.
“We will maintain taxes that we made in our manifesto when we contested last year.”
Helen Miller, an incoming director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies Think Tank, said the government had gone from the position of not saving £ 5BN by 2030.
He said: “Come autumn, given that the government has not been able to put through its intended cuts, and given that development may deteriorate rather than getting better, it is fast looking at that, if the government needs to do something, it is going to turn to tax.”
In his election manifesto, Labor said that he would not increase the tax on “working people”, especially on income tax, national insurance or VAT.
Reeves has committed to meet the so -called fiscal rules, which most governments in rich countries have to try to maintain credibility with financial markets.
The two main rules of Reeves are not to borrow for public expenses of day-to-day; And to fall down the loan as part of the UK’s economic production by 2029/30.
But the determination of Reaves’s determination to stick to these rules has made speculation whether it will increase taxes or announce a cut in spending in its autumn budget.
The expensive policy on the Winter fuel allowance for the Labor Government’s expensive policy welfare and pensioners has made that task more difficult.
Showing at the Loren program of ITV, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rener said that welfare reform was “always difficult”, and said that the government has to “flatten” curvature of welfare expenses “.
He said: “Rachel [Reeves] Those challenges have to be seen in the budget “.
The labor rebellion on welfare changes weakens the rights of the Chancellor and Prime Minister Sir Kir Stmper, and questions his ability to implement the major parts of his policy program.
When asked about the challenge of the government from his own backbenchers, Rener said, “Many of them are increasing them to be fair for allies. [concerns] Personally “, adding that” the process can look AGG, but the way you meet unanimously “.
The greatest savings in the welfare bill would have been from restricting eligibility for personal freedom payment (PIP), which is the main disability advantage in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
But in a late concession on Tuesday evening, the ministers gave shelter to those plans and said that after reviewing the benefits, there will be any PIP change.
Finally, MPs gave government Universal loan and personal freedom payment bill His initial approval, 335 votes to 260.
Although this was not enough for 49 Labor MPs to vote against the law, the biggest rebellion of Sir Kir’s premierership.
Labor’s Rachel Maskel proposed an amendment designed to prevent the law, supported by a total of 44 Labor MPs.
The York Central MP said that he had seen the bill “disintegrating before our eyes”.
Maskel said he was happy that there was a public debate about the issue and “now people with disabilities should feel strong to raise their voice in a competent parliament”.
Labor MP Chris Curtis, who supported welfare changes, said the government needs to focus on economic development to keep the finance at a stable level.
“I hope this government is going to go ahead and fast, and the boulder will be more fundamentalist to unlock development in this country,” he said.
“The most important thing for financial stability is to re -increase the economy.”
