Labour’s Rachel Reeves might have stirred up a storm with her £4.8 billion welfare cuts, but not everyone in the party is shying away from backing her. In fact, one MP is doubling down and making it clear he thinks it’s time to shift the conversation.
Mike Tapp, the new MP for Dover and Deal, told The Express he’s all for a welfare system that focuses more on what people can do rather than what they can’t. “We need to assess abilities as well as disability, and ensure that if you can work, you are. That’s morally right not just for the country but also for those people,” he said, reported the Express.
