The Conservatives will try to change the government's welfare Bill to tighten up access to personal independence payments (Pip) and universal credit, PA Media reports. PA says:

Kemi Badenoch will pledge that the Tories are now the only party committed to serious welfare reform" after Keir Starmer shelved plans to restrict eligibility for Pip in the face of a backbench revolt this week.

The Tories will look to lay amendments to the legislation - set to be renamed the universal credit bill - and party leader Badenoch is due to deliver a speech on welfare on Thursday.
