Angela Rayner takes to the dispatch box at this week’s Prime Minister’s Question while Sir Keir Starmer is in The Netherlands for a NATO summit.
Today’s proceedings come as more Labour MPs have signalled they are willing to rebel against the Government’s proposed welfare cuts.
Overall, 134 MPs are now backing an amendment that would effectively threaten the Government’s proposed changes, an Order Paper published by Parliament late on Wednesday indicated.
Among the new signatories on Tuesday night from Sir Keir’s party were Leeds Central and Headingley MP Alex Sobel, as well as Danny Beales who represents Uxbridge and South Ruislip.
