It wouldn't have happened as you indicated because the membership and the bulk of Labour MPs and Party members such as myself, would be determined in a crisis to want to ensure help was solidly in place to build up the lower paid and more vulnerable, not try to bring them down further.

In fact however, no other Party but the present government, would be even thinking of taking away this extra payment at the present time.

It's likely an immaterial issue anyhow as this government is I'd say, going to be shamed again by Labour and all other Parties to do another of their so called 'listening u turns'.
After creating anxieties to those who need the certainty this extra would continue.
