17:20Now PlayingKeir Starmer has announced a major climbdown over proposed welfare reforms as the government attempts to prevent a rebellion.
A Downing Street spokesperson told LBC: “We have listened to MPs who support the principle of reform but are worried about the pace of change for those already supported by the system."
James O'Brien takes a look at how the government spends tax money, questioning why Keir Starmer had chosen to cut disability benefits and universal credit and whether there have been 'too many' U-turns.
He also poses the question: 'What would happen to a politician who calls for the old-age pension to be means tested?'
