🚨 NEW: Labour MP Ian Lavery says "this is crazy man" as he calls on the Government to pull the welfare reform Bill "This is outrageous... The Bill is 15 pages.

The UK government’s welfare reform bill faced fresh resistance in the House of Commons on 1 July after Labour MP Ian Lavery urged ministers to withdraw the legislation, arguing that a series of last-minute concessions had rendered it ineffective. Lavery told MPs the 15-page document was now ‘crazy’ and ‘outrageous’, adding that if the minister removed the newly obsolete sections, only two pages would remain. He called on the government to scrap the bill and return with proposals that were ‘fit for purpose’. Ministers defended the reforms earlier in the debate, but did not immediately indicate whether further changes would be considered. The bill is scheduled to proceed to its next parliamentary stage later this month.
