A political tug of war between the government and backbenchers in parliament.

 Well it’s a political - tug of war, between the government and backbenchers in the House of Commons, before the vote on Tuesday. Kemi Badenoch, has said that she - is happy to lend the prime minister support on the issue. Needless to say -  this is  hasn’t been well received by the Labour Party in general and Starmer in particular. Will it be another face saving climb down by Starmer or will he decide to fight to the - last ditch? This is an iconic social policy for the government and they are determined to change the - Personal Independent Payments (PIP) as it’s costing many billions to the exchequer. There will eventually be a compromise as Realpolitik generally wins the day - so a face saving compromise will eventually be found.
