There will be a cost" to the government's climbdown on welfare changes at the budget, one of Keir Starmer's senior ministers has said, as a leading fiscal thinktank said new tax rises appeared increasingly likely.

Pat McFadden, the chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, defended Starmer and the work and pensions secretary, Liz Kendall, after the second reading of the government's main welfare bill only passed its first Commons test after a central element was removed.
