Labour created the welfare state. Now, it's intent on cutting it back

Liz Kendall says she will not rule out further cuts to the welfare bill further down the line in an interview with Sky News on Tuesday .

She outlined reforms designed to reduce those claiming the main disability, with hundreds of thousands of people expected to lose personal independence payments.

The target is to save 5bn from a disability benefits bill for working-age people set to balloon by over 20bn to 75bn by the end of the decade .

The devil will be in the detail, and for now, hundreds of thousands of recipients don't know if they will still be eligible for the main disability benefit.

The government is yet to outline where the 5bn of savings will be found.

It is an anxious time for those who rely on the welfare state.

How long a shadow these reforms will cast over Sir Keir 's domestic agenda is hard to tell.
