JEREMY CORBYN vowed yesterday that Labour will force a vote in Parliament on George Osborne’s “appalling” budget cuts to disability benefits.

A burgeoning Tory back-bench revolt could help Labour and opposition parties defeat the Chancellor’s plans to cut personal independence payments (PIP).

Commons leader Chris Grayling prompted the Labour leader’s response by refusing on Thursday to rule out a repeat of the tax credit ruse when ministers tried to sneak a cut through Parliament without a vote.

Mr Corbyn said: “It is utterly appalling what they are proposing.

“We will be forcing a vote in Parliament on this. I hope and believe all opposition parties will join with us in that.

“I believe a number of Conservative MPs are so upset about this they too will vote against the government.”

Tory MP Andrew Percy, who rebelled against tax credits, has organised a letter of protest to the Chancellor over the cut.

More blue backbenchers spoke out yesterday, with health select committee chairwoman Sarah Wollaston calling a climbdown “highly likely.”

“I don’t think they will need to force a vote,” she told BBC Radio 4. “I think it’s very clear that this isn’t the mood of the Commons and I think that the government is likely to take stock and start again.”

Even Tory London mayoral candidate Zac Goldsmith, forced to resign as a charity patron after voting for previous disability cuts, predicted the PIP proposal was not a “fait accompli.”

Part-time Equalities Minister Nicky Morgan appeared to pave the way for a U-turn during Thursday’s episode of Question Time when she claimed the cut was merely a “suggestion” that was still up for discussion in government.

But the Prime Minister’s spokeswoman insisted: “The government’s position hasn’t changed. We remain committed to making these much-needed reforms.”

Shadow work and pensions secretary Owen Smith said: “Hundreds of thousands of disabled people are worried sick at the prospect of having their PIP support cut and the Tory government are only making matters worse with their spin, confusion and lies.

“We will now do all we can to stop this cut and demand that the government comes clean on its intentions.”
