'Labour won't oppose Welfare Bill'

Labour's acting leader, Harriet Harman, says the party will not oppose the benefit changes announced by the government in last week's Budget.

She said Labour would not vote against the Welfare Bill, which is predicted to bring £12bn worth of cuts into force by 2020.

The comments have caused dismay among some of the party's leadership candidates, as our political correspondent Alex Forsyth reports.
