The Green party says it is still opposed to the UC and Pip bill, despite the U-turn. In a statement the Green MP Siân Berry said:
The responsibility is now with other Labour MPs to stand firm in the face of this inadequate offer. Political pressure means a reprieve for some who were set to be cruelly harmed, but this will leave disabled people, young people and those who will become sick and injured in the future, high and dry.
The prime minister should withdraw the Bill, take some considerable time to consult with disabled people and come back with something humane and workable.
