Reeves faces anger from her local party over plans to cut disability benefits

Labour members from Leeds West and Pudsey to write letter to chancellor over plans to reduce Pip payments

Rachel Reeves' local Labour party will call for the chancellor to abandon her plans to cut disability benefits as rebellion among MPs over the policy grows.

The Leeds West and Pudsey constituency Labour party (CLP), which campaigned to return Reeves to parliament last year as its MP, has agreed to write to her as soon as possible" to make clear it does not support the cuts.
