We've been hearing mere from politicians after the result of the vote was announced:

• Leading Labour rebel Richard Burgon tells me he still thinks the bill could be defeated when it moves to its next Commons stage "if the government doesn't deliver on its promises"
• Liberal Democrats leader Ed Davey tells PA news agency: "This is no way to run a country" and urged the government to scrap the bill"
• Leader of Scottish Labour Anas Sarwar says he would "absolutely not" slash benefits for disabled people in Scotland if he became first minister
• Reform UK's Richard Tice lays into the “catastrophic” and shambolic” events of the past few hours. “What we should doing is targeting the abusers, the skivers, the idlers," he says
• Meanwhile Green MP Sian Berry says she will be watching the government very closely, and there is "every chance they will mess it up again by next week"

The new concessions make the outlook for the public finances more uncertain and could well reduce Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ headroom against her chosen borrowing rules even further in the Autumn Budget.

The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) had originally scored around £5bn a year of savings from the original welfare reform package by 2029-30.

The initial concessions - including ensuring that existing Pip recipients would not lose any benefits - had halved the projected 2029-30 savings to £2.5bn, according to the government’s estimates.

Delaying the implementation of Pip reforms for new claimants until the Timms review has reported means even those £2.5bn of savings might not be scored by the OBR in the Autumn Budget.

The OBR traditionally does not score savings from policies until the details of those policies are clear.

The upshot is that fiscal experts suspect the OBR might rule in the Autumn Budget that public spending will be around £5bn higher than assumed in the Spring Statement in March - because those welfare savings are now either cancelled or too uncertain to be scored yet.

That alone would effectively halve the £9.9bn of headroom the Chancellor had pencilled in against her chosen borrowing rules in 2029-30.

The Labour MP behind the amendment designed to block the government’s welfare reforms says the party will “come together again”.

Rachael Maskell says “like any family we’ve had a bit of an argument about principles”.

She goes on to say the party could move forward if it worked together - but added a warning. If there’s “obstinance and continuation of disengagement”, she says, that could create problems in the future.

That’s a clear message to Downing Street and the government.

Many backbench Labour MPs felt they just hadn’t been listened to, and they want that to change.

We're now taking a closer look at how MPs voted on the welfare reform bill - which according to the Parliament website breakdown passed by 336 for to 261 against.

Of the 336 MPs who voted for the bill - there are 333 Labour and three Independents.

The 261 MPs who voted against are made up of 100 Conservatives, 70 Liberal Democrats, 49 Labour and 42 from other parties.

In total, 45 MPs did not vote.

After hours of relentless and impassioned debating of the government's Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment (Pip) Bill, we've had a flurry of results.

The amendment to kill the bill failed:

• It was rejected by 328 to 149, a government majority of 179
• A total of 42 Labour MPs voted for that amendment - in other words, to reject the government's bill

The second reading of the welfare reform bill passed:

• With 335 votes for and 260 against
• That's a majority of 75, and means the bill will now progress to the next stage of parliamentary scrutiny

What does it all mean?

• Ministers might breathe a sigh of relief at having won this vote after last-minute concessions, our correspondent Alex Forsyth writes, but the government’s majority has been vastly reduced

What has been said?

• Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall told the BBC's Chris Mason there are "lessons to learn" but it's important that the bill was passed
• Shadow Work and Pensions Minister Helen Whately said the bill was "ripped apart in front of our eyes' this afternoon, calling it a "shambles"

More now from Liz Kendall, who's asked what's left in the bill after all the concessions.

She says "there's some really important changes" coming, including to universal credit and the right to try - which aims to give people the confidence to work without putting their benefits at risk.

Kendall adds that she is pleased this bill has passed, but "there is more to do".

Asked if this shows that the Labour Party is not willing to take on reforming the welfare state, Kendall says "welfare reform is always difficult because it touches on the lives of millions of people".

"But we need to make changes," she says.

Kendall adds that tonight has been a "bumpy time", but "we will go forward together".

Speaking to the BBC's political editor Chris Mason after the vote, Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall is asked: "Whose fault is this shambles?"

Kendall responds by saying: "I wish we had got to this point in a different way, and there are absolutely lessons to learn".

"But I think it's really important we passed this bill."

Asked if her position is tenable, Kendall says "listening is a strength in politics... and I'll continue to listen to colleagues".

Asked if she wants to carry on in her position, she says: "Absolutely."

Labour MP Paula Barker - who spoke against the bill in the debate - tells me she is disappointed by the result.

“I am not sure all colleagues understand what they voted for,” she adds

It was an “unedifying” and “shambolic” process, she says, but she hopes it will trigger a “reset” in the government’s relationship with its own MPs.

“We all want the Labour government to succeed,” she tells me.

Let's take a closer look at the first vote tonight, on Rachael Maskell's reasoned amendment that would have killed the government's bill.

As we reported earlier, it failed by 328 votes to 149. But data just published on the Parliament website shows the breakdown.

A total of 42 Labour MPs voted for that amendment - in other words to reject the government's bill.

Just after the vote, shadow work and pensions minister Helen Whately asks the Speaker if the bill should still be "rushed through" to be debated next week at committee stage, or be withdrawn by the government entirely.

She says the bill was "ripped apart in front of our eyes" this afternoon, calling it a "shambles".

The Speaker says scheduling is a matter of the government, not the chair.

Ministers might breathe a sigh of relief at having won this vote after last-minute concessions, but the government’s majority has been vastly reduced.

It’s a sign of just how much unhappiness there’s been at these welfare reforms on Labour’s backbenches.

And don’t expect this to be the end of it. Lots of Labour MPs signalled during today’s debate that they still have plenty of concerns and questions.

MPs have voted in favour of the government's bill - by 335 votes for, to 260 against.

That's a majority of 75, and means the bill will now progress to the next stage of parliamentary scrutiny.

No real surprise there as Rachael Maskell’s reasoned amendment - which would have killed the bill - is rejected by 328 to 149.

That's a government majority of 179.

The amendment to reject the government's welfare bill has failed, with 149 votes for to 328 against.

This means the bill itself will now go to a vote. Stay with us for the outcome.

I just spotted the prime minister in the House of Commons as MPs start these crucial votes - he was chatting to MPs behind the Speaker’s chair.

Whatever happens in the next half an hour there will be big questions about how Keir Starmer, and his government, have handled this.

Alex Forsyth

Just before MPs were called to vote, a point was raised by the Labour MP Peter Lamb which summed up the crux of concern for many Labour backbenchers.

He asked whether the review of Pip would be conducted “in a spending envelope” – which basically means will it be designed to save money.

The minister, Stephen Timms, said the review is not intended to save money, rather it’s meant to “get the assessment right”.

That’s a last minute attempt to reassure Labour MPs who’ve been worried that this whole process has been about saving money rather than the meaningful welfare reform ministers, and others, say is needed.

Division is called and MPs clear the Commons to vote.

The first vote is on the reasoned amendment, tabled by Labour's Rachael Maskell. If that's unsuccessful, MPs will then go to vote on the bill.

This will take a little while, so bear with us. We'll update you on the break down of the votes as soon as we get the numbers.

Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Helen Whately says the bill has "more or less disintegrated" during this afternoon's debate.

"Describing this as chaos now seems like an understatement," she says.

"The government is serving up a bill with next to nothing in it. They'd already U-turned once, it seems they can't even deliver a U-turn."

The chamber is starting to fill up ahead of the big vote.

Liz Kendall has returned and Kemi Badenoch has taken her place on the opposition front bench.

Labour's Mary Kelly Foy is speaking now. She says she popped out for a banana earlier on and when she returned, "things had changed again".

"These proposals are so unfair," she continues.

"How can we be asked to vote for a system... that has been tweaked to penalise people based on when they got ill, or when they get more ill."

Kelly Foy, who is the MP for the City of Durham, says the changes to Pip will have a bigger impact on the North East than almost any other region in the country.

"This isn't a level playing field," she says.
