1) when do these proposed cuts actually come into force?
2) if it's next year, could the government in theory change their mind e.g. after raising taxes in the Autumn budget?

Won't shift the voting intention dial, that's important.

Have we got any actual figures yet? Iirc at the last GE there were 4m children living in poverty. Has this gone up or down?

This is absolutely disgusting. We are a rich nation. Why would we allow this to happen??

Really not good. I suppose they're hoping growth will outstrip losses to allow increases but it's really not a good way to do it. Hamstrung themselves by promising no tax increase on workers, but I'd much prefer to see them do that.

Not many Starmer simps out tonight. They were out in force last night defending this atrocity. I smell central office bots.
Despicable red tory scum.

If they hadn’t already, today is the day Labour opened the door far and wide for Reform to march on in at the next GE, no one will feel any benefits of this now or by the next GE. People will die.
