Keir Starmer hit by new major rebellion as 49 Labour MPs refuse to back his government's welfare cuts - was YOURS among them?
Ministers had taken drastic action as furious MPs lined up in the Commons to attack the plan to make it harder to claim Personal Independence Payments (Pip) and health-related universal credit.
But even after a pledge to remove the Pip elements entirely, pending a review expected to take until next summer, almost 50 refused to back the shell of what was left.
The total of 49 was higher than the 44 who had backed a 'reasoned amendment' to the bell - a piece of Commons machinery which would have killed it off completely.
Labour MP Clive Efford, who voted against the Bill and co-signed an amendment that would have halted it at second reading, said the Government's late minute U-turn was not a good look to the public.
The MP for Eltham and Chislehurst said: 'I've never seen a Bill in front of the House being salami sliced bit-by-bit like this, in order to get it over the line. It's definitely not the way to produce legislation.
'I mean I don't know what disabled people looking on will have made of today's process, but it didn't put the Government in a good light.'
He said he was unsurprised the Government won the vote, but said the Government had been sent a message about the strength of opposition.
In 12 hours of carnage at Westminster, the PM's carefully-assembled truce with rebels dramatically disintegrated.
Who are the Labour rebels who voted against the welfare bill?
Here is a full list of the Labour rebels who voted against the Bill at second reading:
Rosena Allin-Khan (Tooting)
Paula Barker (Liverpool Wavertree)
Lee Barron (Corby and East Northamptonshire)
Lorraine Beavers (Blackpool North and Fleetwood)
Olivia Blake (Sheffield Hallam)
Richard Burgon (Leeds East)
Ian Byrne (Liverpool West Derby)
Irene Campbell (North Ayrshire and Arran)
Lizzi Collinge (Morecambe and Lunesdale)
Stella Creasy (Walthamstow)
Peter Dowd (Bootle)
Neil Duncan-Jordan (Poole)
Cat Eccles (Stourbridge)
Clive Efford (Eltham and Chislehurst)
Mary Kelly Foy (City of Durham)
Tracy Gilbert (Edinburgh North and Leith)
Mary Glindon (Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend)
Chris Hinchliff (North East Hertfordshire)
Imran Hussain (Bradford East)
Terry Jermy (South West Norfolk)
Kim Johnson (Liverpool Riverside)
Ian Lavery (Blyth and Ashington)
Brian Leishman (Alloa and Grangemouth)
Emma Lewell (South Shields)
Clive Lewis (Norwich South)
Rebecca Long Bailey (Salford)
Rachael Maskell (York Central)

Navendu Mishra (Stockport)
Abtisam Mohamed (Sheffield Central)
Grahame Morris (Easington)

Simon Opher (Stroud)
Kate Osamor (Edmonton and Winchmore Hill)
Kate Osborne (Jarrow and Gateshead East)
Richard Quigley (Isle of Wight West)
Bell Ribeiro-Addy (Clapham and Brixton Hill)
Marie Rimmer (St Helens South and Whiston)
Cat Smith (Lancaster and Wyre)
Euan Stainbank (Falkirk)
Graham Stringer (Blackley and Middleton South)
Marie Tidball (Penistone and Stocksbridge)
Jon Trickett (Normanton and Hemsworth)
Derek Twigg (Widnes and Halewood)
Chris Webb (Blackpool South)
Nadia Whittome (Nottingham East)
Steve Witherden (Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr)
Marsha De Cordova (Battersea)
Diane Abbott (Hackney North and Stoke Newington)
'The Government's got a huge majority, it takes a lot to defeat. It's nonetheless a significant number of us made a stand, which I mean needed to be done.'
Those voting against it included the former shadow minister for the disabled, Marsha de Cordova.
Vicky Foxcroft, who quit as a whip last week because of concerns about the bill, voted for it in its weakened state.
Despite being titled the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill, the legislation now contains no measures relating to Pip.
The respected IFS think-tank said that accounted for £2.6billion of the savings the government had hoped for by 2029-30. Curbs to the health element of Universal Credit should have eased spending by £1.7billion, but that was due to be offset by £1.8billion on raising the basic rate.
Researcher Tom Waters said that left an additional cost of £100million by 2029-30.
Agonisingly for Chancellor Rachel Reeves, the delay almost certainly means the Office for Budget Responsibility cannot 'score' the savings in time for her Budget.
As a result the black hole in the government's books is likely to be even bigger than feared. Concerns were already running high that Ms Reeves will have to hike taxes to stabilised the public finances.
In 12 hours of carnage at Westminster, the PM's carefully-assembled truce with rebels dramatically disintegrated.
Facing the threat of a massive revolt, Sir Keir opted make yet another major concession just 90 minutes before the vote.
Ministers pledged that changes to disability handouts will not be finalised until after a review - meaning that the package as it stands will actually make the current system more expensive than before.
Sir Keir - who is days away from marking the first anniversary of his election landslide - had already agreed that the benefits curbs would only apply to new claimants.
There was mocking laughter in the chamber as Social Security Minister Stephen Timms was asked how much the proposals would save now, and merely replied that the government would 'set out figures in the usual way'.
Despite the humiliating manoeuvres, when the vote was held 44 Labour MPs still backed the fatal amendment and others abstained - although it was comfortably defeated by 328 to 149.
Shortly afterwards the Bill cleared second reading stage by 335 to 260, majority 75. It will now be scrutinised at committee.
A clearly crestfallen Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall tried to put a brave face on the shambles afterwards, acknowledging there were 'lessons to be learned' but the party was '100 per cent' behind the PM.
'I think people are 100 per cent behind a Prime Minister that secured the first Labour Government in 14 years,' she said.
But rebel Labour MP Brian Leishman said ministers should still withdraw the Bill despite it passing second reading.
The MP for Alloa and Grangemouth had also voted in favour of the cross-party amendment that would have stopped the Bill before second reading.
He said: 'Today was a prime example in how not to legislate.
'A shambolic afternoon with policy being made up off the cuff and on the notion of promises to come.
'The Government should do the honourable and decent thing and withdraw this dreadful Bill.'
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch accused ministers of 'utter capitulation' and said the legislation was now 'pointless'.

Pound drops and UK bonds suffer big selloff after finance minister cries in parliament
British prime minister Keir Starmer's office rushed to give finance minister Rachel Reeves his full backing on Wednesday after she appeared in tears in parliament following a series of U-turns on welfare reforms that blew a hole in her budget plans. Reeves looked exhausted and appeared to brush away tears during the half-hour session of prime minister's questions in the House of Commons. Her spokesperson said it was a personal matter. Advertisement British borrowing costs rose and the pound fell as the weekly question-and-answer session unfolded on TV, with market analysts saying the moves reflected fears that Reeves would be replaced, throwing the government into further turmoil. Asked about Reeves, a Treasury spokesperson said: "It's a personal matter, which – as you would expect – we are not going to get into." Starmer's press secretary told reporters: "The chancellor is going nowhere, she has the prime minister's full backing." The pressure on Reeves comes after the British government managed to pass its welfare reform bill, but only after it removed measures that would have led to savings in the long run. Advertisement Reeves has repeatedly emphasised her commitment to self-imposed fiscal rules, limiting the amount Britain will borrow to try to build the confidence of investors. But that ambition collided with Labour members of parliament who were opposed to the scale of the cuts to welfare, and who said Reeves was being cruel in pushing for billions of pounds of savings from some of the most vulnerable people in society. Opposition politicians and economists said the decision to sharply scale back the welfare reforms meant the government would have to raise taxes or cut spending elsewhere to balance the public finances in the annual budget later this year. Looking miserable One Labour member of parliament, who asked not to be named, said Reeves was upset after an argument with the House of Commons speaker Lindsay Hoyle. A spokesperson for Hoyle declined to comment. Advertisement The opposition Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch singled out Reeves during the weekly set-piece parliamentary session, in which lawmakers put questions to the prime minister in often-raucous exchanges, saying: "She's pointing at me, she looks absolutely miserable." Reeves animatedly gestured back. Badenoch said: "She is a human shield for his incompetence. In January, he said that she would be in post until the next election. Will she really?" Starmer then responded that Badenoch would not be in her job by then, but did not explicitly back Reeves. Business Michael O'Leary says Rachel Reeves 'hasn't a clue'... Read More The appearance of Reeves in tears put British government bonds on track for their biggest daily selloff since October 10th, 2022, when financial markets were still reeling from former prime minister Liz Truss's decision to announce big, unfunded tax cuts. The pound fell almost 1 per cent on Wednesday. Starmer's press secretary later said the prime minister had expressed his confidence in Reeves many times and did not need to repeat it every time a political opponent speculated on her position. The Treasury spokesperson said Reeves would be working out of Downing Street on Wednesday afternoon. Asked if Reeves had offered her resignation, Starmer's press secretary said: "no".

King and Queen brave summer downpour to honour Kirkcaldy's war dead
The King and Queen faced torrential downpours as they marked the centenary of a war memorial commemorating a Scottish town's war dead. Charles and Camilla sheltered under umbrellas as they left a wreath at the memorial in Kirkcaldy, Fife, as hundreds of spectators watched the poignant service. Former prime minister Gordon Brown later joined the King at a solo event, while wife Sarah Brown met the Queen when she visited a cancer centre run by Maggie's – an organisation both women officially support. Charles's first task was to unveil a cairn commissioned to mark the 100th anniversary of the Kirkcaldy War Memorial Gardens and designed as a time capsule for future generations. He chatted to pupils from local Viewforth High School who had helped fill the capsule with school mementos and memory sticks filled with photos, and quipped about the rain: 'I keep telling myself it's a blessing.' Camilla said: 'It's a bit damp,' adding: 'We've been used to the heatwave.' The royal couple, who are spending their official week in Scotland known as Holyrood Week, arrived in Fife as the heavy showers began and met dozens of well-wishers waiting behind barriers. Holding umbrellas, they shook hands with the public but at one point a lone protester stood a few feet from the King and shouted his apparent opposition to Israel's war in the Gaza Strip, alleging 'weapons that we sell contribute to genocide'. After the brief wreath-laying service, Camilla left to visit Maggie's Fife while Charles toured the nearby Kirkcaldy Art Gallery. The King chatted to representatives of Fife-based charities and organisations which included Fife Multibank, an initiative founded by Mr Brown that provides essential goods to low-income families and now has five other organisations across the country. Mr Brown said afterwards: 'The biggest problem in Britain today is the divisions caused by child poverty and we're doing something about it, in the way that we can. 'We saw that goods surplus to companies were not being repurposed into a circular economy, and we thought we could solve some of the problems of pollution and poverty at the same time. 'We've got 90 companies now and we're working with 1,000 organisations in Fife. So we work with all the schools, social workers, health visitors, foodbanks and charities – we have given out in total, around the UK in the last year or two, eight million goods worth about £80 million.'
