Scores of Labour MPs have voiced significant doubts about the government’s welfare changes in a tense meeting with the work and pensions secretary.

MPs said there were grave concerns in the room about the huge hit to incomes that the changes would mean, and one said a party whip appeared to be taking notes of who was raising their concerns.
