Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng is expected to announce a welfare shake-up to 'get Britain working again'.
Thousands more part time workers could have their benefits reduced if they do not take "active steps" to work more, under a planned welfare reform.
Labour's Jonathan Ashworth said the country needed a serious plan to support people to return to work. It is understood that this change, expected to come in from January 2023 will affect about 120,000 more benefit claimants.
