With more than 120 Labour MPs threatening to rebel, Keir Starmer faces a major political crisis over benefit cuts and welfare changes.
In this episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined by former Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith (IDS), who slashed £31 billion from the welfare budget during his time in office.
He warns that the current proposals don't go far enough, and calls for tougher reforms to tackle what he sees as a culture of welfare dependency in post-Covid Britain.

- Can Starmer survive this internal revolt?
- Should the UK be doing more to incentivise work over benefits?
