PM Sir Keir Starmer bids to see off growing welfare rebellion | Politics Hub with Sophy Ridge

Join Sophy Ridge for a fast-paced daily dissection of what’s happening in Westminster, bringing together Sky News’ innovative and energetic coverage with her expert political team, including Beth Rigby and Sam Coates, for a one-hour show, weeknights at 7pm.

Speaking from a NATO conference in the Netherlands, the PM was asked by Sky News political editor Beth Rigby about the ongoing rebellion against the government's welfare reforms.

More than a 100 Labour MPs say they want to sink the bill - but earlier today Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner insisted a vote on it next week will go ahead.

Sir Keir Starmer told Beth: "We're committed to reforming our welfare system. It doesn't work. It traps people. And it has to be reformed.

"And it also has to ensure that we've got a welfare system that is fit for the future.

"And that is why, there will be a vote, and we will press ahead with the reforms.
