00:00Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister keeps saying he's bringing in welfare reforms.
00:03None of those things are going to cut the bill.
00:06Even his own Tim's review explicitly says, this is their review, this is the terms of reference,
00:11explicitly says this is not about generating proposals for further savings.
00:17He had a chance to cut benefits.
00:19Last year, I remember, they were planning to cut benefits, and on the floor of this house, they U-turned.
00:25What did he do when he had a chance?
00:27He caved.
00:28He caved to all these MPs behind him who don't want benefits brought down.
00:32That's why they're sitting silently behind him.
00:35So does the Prime Minister agree with his welfare secretary that that was the moment he lost his authority?
