<h1>Prime Minister survives welfare reform rebellion as 49 party MPs vote against lb5 billion benefit cuts</h1> The UK Prime Minister faced significant parliamentary turmoil during his one-year milestone, narrowly avoiding a rebellion within his party over welfare reforms. Forty-nine party MPs voted against the government's bill aimed at saving lb5 billion from social welfare benefits. The Opposition criticized the Chancellor, describing her as a 'human shield' and questioning her future, while she was observed appearing emotional during the session.
