Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to be “ruthless with cuts’ to welfare, taking a leaf out of the Conservative Party’s book in the process.
Number of working-age people on health-related benefits has surged by 1.2 m more since Covid .
This costs the state nearly 65bn a year , more than the defence Budget .
It is expected to hit 100bn before the end of the decade .
Labour could opt for less radical changes but the risk is that it does nothing at all to lower costs.
The introduction of personal independence payments ( PIP ) was meant to cut spending by 20pc when it was introduced in 2013 .
MPs’ inboxes are already filling up with messages from worried constituent.
