Summary
Welfare Bill Revolt SINKS Starmer — 120 Labour MPs Rebel | Labour Crisis
#JonGaunt #WelfareBill #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics #LabourParty
Jon Gaunt breaks down the explosive Welfare Bill revolt, as 120 Labour MPs rebel against Keir Starmer's leadership. This unprecedented internal revolt could sink Starmer’s leadership and trigger a full-scale Labour Party crisis.
Starmer loses either way. If he wins the actual vote he is still the loser as this is clearly a vote of confidence on his first 12 months in office. He has made more missteps than a fat TV personality on Strictly!
Winter fuel allowance U-Turn, VAT on private schools, calling Southport protestors Far Right, Lucy Connolly, Ukraine, Not backing Trump on Iran and plenty more.
He has the worst poll ratings of any PM in history. Can he survive?
What does this mean for UK politics in 2025? And with Starmer’s position now under intense pressure, who could replace him? Angela Rayner? Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Manchester? Or Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London?
Gaunty examines the political fallout, party divisions, and the battle for Labour’s future.

| 0:05.2 | Let's talk about the welfare bill revolt, and it is a revolt. |

| 0:14.3 | 120 and counting Labor MPs say they'll vote against the government. |

| 1:36.0 | He said yes, on the record. |

| 1:52.2 | What is your view on this? I think it's a full-scale Labour Party crisis. I think he loses either way, because if he wins the actual vote, he's still the loser. |
