LIVE: UK Welfare Bill changes introduced to parliament

British Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall introduces changes to the Welfare Bill ahead of crucial vote. 

New British welfare reforms are still expected to push 150,000 people into poverty despite Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government watering down the measures, according to fresh modeling ahead of a key parliamentary vote. 

Seeking to quell a rebellion threatened last week, Starmer revised his planned welfare cuts in an attempt to win over more than 100 lawmakers from his own party who had threatened to revolt over the issue in a vote.
