Labour MP Vicky Foxcroft has resigned as a Government whip over the party’s welfare proposals.
She said in a letter to the Prime Minister she could not vote ‘for reforms which include cuts to disabled people’s finances’.
The Lewisham North MP wrote on X: ‘With a heavy heart, I have written to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as a whip.
‘Whilst I will continue to support the government in delivering the change the country so desperately needs, I cannot vote in favour of the proposed reforms to disability benefits.’
