Analysis

Every MP who just voted Starmer-Kendall war on sick and disabled through to next stage – and who against

‘Rebels’ withdrew amendment, only 48 Labour MPs voted against and 50 MPs didn’t vote, so Kendall’s conscious-cruelty bill goes to 3rd reading

DWP (Department for Work and Punishment) Secretary Liz Kendall ‘s bill to impose massive cuts on the sick and disabled passed its second reading tonight by 335-260 votes, after Labour ‘rebels’ withdrew their amendment to try to kill the planned legislation – conned or lulled by near-meaningless promises from the government – despite making angry noises in the Commons pantomime. Only a small number held true to their duty to protect their constituents and voted against, along with independents and MPs of other parties. The list of MPs – many of whom (supposedly) represent some of the UK’s poorest and most health-deprived constituencies – who supported Kendall’s ‘useless eaters’ assault on our most vulnerable, which will deprive millions of as much as £6,000 a year, is:

What used to be the Labour party is now to the right of the Tories and apparently even fascist-adjacent ‘Reform UK’ on the issue of protecting and supporting the UK’s most vulnerable people.

  1. No surprise to see the mp for round here – angela illeagle – vote for the bill that will impoverish the disabled in future.

    …Seeing as the fraud’s previously accepted funding from lobbyists for disability deniers, maximus (sovereign strategy).

    A message to you, angela.

    The next time you stand up in the commons or on tv and start whinging about how hard life is being a lesbian, just remember…some of the people you’ve just voted to impoverish will be, too.

    1. Mines her bleedin sister maria. No one round here agrees with these cuts thats for sure. Ive wrote her 100 emails about it. Now I emailed her again telling her she disgusts me.

  2. Just emailed maria eagle

    How dare you vote to cut disabled peoples money. Are you so comfortable in the benefits you get that you want to punish the most vulneraelble. You disgust me. Aktion T4 labour party.

  3. And as for the other cryarsing mare from next door (mcgovern)

    Well birkenhead, you get what you vote for. No sympathy. You’ve reverted to your frankenfield propensities, thinking yourself great because at least you didn’t vote tory.

    …But you got one, so in essence, you DID.

    And then there’s dan carden…what happened to your poster boy, skwawkie?

    A rhetorical question. It’s all too evident, the rat.

    Eric Heffer (God rest him) will be spinning so fast in his grave he could power the constituency.

    Im starting to think that perhaps the wee gobshite has a point about the (so-called) left.

    Grim.

    1. Oh and barry gardiner, too. Alright putting people right in tv interviews a few years back, but when push comes to shove and those who will actually need your help see you twiddling yer bleedin thumbs. .

      Gutless get.

  4. As a socialist & as an example someone I know from Leeds told me that out of its 6 Labour MPs there
    of the 5 (in my view) politically Crap ones 4 voted FOR, one DID NOT VOTE (has done this before) but the only politically decent one (Richard Burgon) voted AGAINST.
    So let’s take Leeds as a case study, it has something like 40,000 Disabled citizens who will/would have been affected.
    Disabled people don’t hoard money but spend it in the local shops helping the local economy – the Leeds pound.
    If this had originally gone ahead it would have taken possibly £80m+ from the Leeds economy.
    But as Disabled people told me people on PIP etc have to apply to be re-assessed so hey presto new claimants so we still have to watch these Right Wing Lab snakes like hawks!
    But perhaps Lab have kicked the can down the road to Nov 2026 and now say they will take account of the Timms Review & claim this Review has worked with Disabled people & groups but Disabled reps in Leeds told me that was news to them.
    “It’s a miracle I tell you!”
    This like the Winter Fuel Payment issue will be an albatross around Lab’s necks & they’ll be rightly out on their asses in 2029.
    Who now trusts Labour on working class welfare (?) oh & the Luxurious Upper Class Welfare State still booms & gives 1,000+ tax handouts to the rich + big business alone gets £93b a year!
    Bring on JC’s new Left Party!

  5. Richard J Murphy’s earlier take on the matter:

    Starmer has been defeated and has not a shred of credibility left

    As The Guardian has reported in the last hour, Stephen Timms told the Commons after 5 pm with regard to the Bill delivering benefit reforms:

    I can announce that we are going to remove the clause five from the bill at committee, that we will move straight to the wider review, sometimes referred to as the Timms review, and only make changes to Pip eligibility, activities and descriptors following that review.

    The government is committed to concluding the review by the autumn of next year.

    As The Guardian then notes:

    That is another big concession.

    It means there is a chance that new Pip eligibility rules will not come into force in November 2026.

    They added:

    Much more importantly, it means that the switch to the four-point Pip eligibility rule may never happen at all. It won’t be in the legislation. And there is no guarantee the Timms review will revive the idea – certainly if it is genuinely “co-produced” with disabled people, as the government promises. The four-point rule was the key instrument that was going to deliver the £2.5bn savings that, this morning, the Treasury was going to deliver.

    This means MPs are set to pass a bill that won’t necessarily deliver anything like the level of cuts originally planned. It is a huge win for those campaigning against it.

    In fact, this Bill now delivers no significant cuts at all. Those that are left should still be abandoned, though.

    There is no beating about the bush here. What must have happened is that sometime late this afternoon, the Whips told Labour that they were still going to be defeated by their own backbenchers and so, to avoid this embarrassment, the Bill had to be gutted, leaving it almost meaningless.

    No government Bill has done this badly for 40 years, and that was a relatively minor one in the Thatcher era, and this was a fundamental Bill in the Starmer era.

    The callousness of the Labour government has been exposed. Its own backbenchers have rightly hammered it.

    The time has come for the government to rethink, entirely. It has almost all its policies wrong. It’s not just this issue. The whole of its austerity programme is unjustified, and that is now obvious.

    Labour has a choice. They can demand total change from Starmer, or they can demand that Starmer go. There are no other alternatives, and only one of these is likely to be viable, given that Starmer, Reeves, Kendall and many others in the Cabinet have not a shred of credibility left.

    1. This BTL comment on Murphy’s article succinctly sums up the systemic dire situation the UK, along with the rest of the Collective West who have adopted this TINA model, are in:

      https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/07/0

      “Well, there we have it. We don’t have a Government, and we don’t have an Opposition. The Labour-Conservative cartel, which is the Single Transferable Party demonstrably cannot govern, and its doppelganger (the Conservative-Labour Opposition) cannot function persuasively, even as an Official Opposition.. They have both finally been found out. The system itself is demonstrably bust.

      This is what happens when you pin your faith on an FPTP system in the 21st century; a system that cannot does not represent people, but Party’ (a scarcely disguised Cartel/Single Transferable Party that serves Sovereign Prerogative Power and the mystical power of the Treasury, which is now defined and executed in terms of the self-justifying, evidence-free authority of the ‘Fiscal Rules’; whoever wins a General Election. The single Transferable Party can’t lose, and doesn’t lose; ever. Nothing ever changes, or ever can change. The Single Transferable Party simply recycles itself endlessly. Forever. To the end of days.

      This is what happens when you rely on a seventeenth century electoral system transformed by the Single Transferable Party through modern neo-Rotten Boroughs in its own exclusive interest; with constituencies that are answerable solely to a two-Party Cartel that do not serve the public, but spend its time closing off democracy from the people; and failing to deliver checks and balances over Government solely intent on protecting absolute power.”

  6. The only certainty to come out of this debacle is – Liz Kendall has to go(she won’t).

    A long time since I’ve seen such a cack-handed, ham-fisted handling of such an important Bill, from a Labour politician.

    The only times it’s been so evident before, has been from the Tories, but it’s expected from them as a matter of course.

    What were those 4.5% thinking, when they voted for her to be Leader?

  7. Shouldn’t be restricted to kendall. Smarmer, reeves and that moron mcsleazy all need punting at the very least.

  8. Skwawkie tells us that my MP didn’t vote on the bill. He has spoken against it( on Newsnight apparently), but he didn’t have the courage or the principle to vote against it on the day. Sadly, he is, in my eyes, worse than his parliamentary neighbours (Fabian Hamilton and the wretched Reeves woman) who voted to enact it.

    FWIW when/if Zack Polanski wins the Greens leadership election, I’ll be campaigning AGAINST the cowardly incumbent and for something better. Shame on him!
