The rebellion is growing large and large.
Cabinet ministers have been given a list of Labor MPs to ring. Beat the phone and bend weapons, they have instructions from the Prime Minister to the senior team.
But, at least so far, it is not working.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves is included, arguing how important the changes were cheap and durable and how important the changes were to ensure and how harmful the defeat to the Prime Minister would be.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting is involved, trying to celebrate face-to-face and try to convince people.
Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds is sharing with his family experience – his eldest son Jack is severely autistic and recipient of personal freedom payment.
Reynolds are telling colleagues that it makes them deeply a believer in a welfare state that helps in the needs of those people and argues the government’s plans.
Attempt to coordinate this persuasion effort is an indicator of how serious the Downing Street takes this rebellion and how desperate they are to deal with it.
But the mood of many people in the parliamentary party seems strict.
Strictly, the two heaviest mayors of the labor are now trapped, tightening the resolve of some.
The Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Bernham told BBC Newsnight: “When the parliamentary labor party provides its collective knowledge in such numbers, it is always correct.
“And this is true on this. And I will tell the government, listen to PLP.”
London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan has also determined his opposition.
Going to give something – and soon, because both the opposition’s scale and the current schemes of the government cannot be final.
Sir Keer faced his own decisions and rights tests, which he did not see before entering Downing Street.
