Labour MPs, ministers, activists and members are as unhappy about the plan as voters, pensioners, and everyone else who thought that performative cruelty towards a particular demographic was a Tory trait we had just got shot of.

To say the plan landed badly is an understatement. It landed like Donald Trump doing the splits in a tutu: ill-advised, utterly repellent, and lumps of flesh everywhere.

It's in no-one's interest, and it's not tough. It's just plain cruel to take 300 a year off pensioners on tax credits.

There is a path between not doing a full u-turn, and raising the threshold for who gets it.

It'll all be more expensive than just keeping the damn thing as it was, but at least he and Reeves will have learned a lesson.

Fix what's broken, not one of the few bits of Britain that was working just fine.

Anything else is pure vandalism and that's not what anyone voted for.
