The Chancellorโs days are numbered as a poll conducted by LabourList shows some 46% of Labour members believe Rachel Reeves should be kicked out if there was a reshuffle.
The Work and Pensions minister Lix Kendall is second on the list amid the welfare reforms which will affect 80,0000 disabled people.
Kendall was behind the winter fuel cuts the Waspi scandal and then the welfare reforms which a disability rights campaign group warned the changed to the personal independence payment (Pip) criteria will create a โtwo-tierโ benefits system.
Policy lead at Disability Rights UK Mikey Erhardt said the Prime Minister must โgo back to the drawing board.โ
Erhardt said, “We completely reject the imposition of the two-tier system on offer.
It is not a massive concession to have a benefit system where future generations of disabled people receive less support than disabled people today. MPs must vote against this proposal.
By attempting to push through cruel cuts to the benefits of disabled people, the Government prioritised balancing its books over improving the lives of disabled citizens.
“Now, it is negotiating political deals, again with no concern for the lives of disabled people.”
