Labour facing full-scale civil war after MPs vow to torch Mahmood's asylum plan

Labour is facing full-scale civil war today after MPs vowed to torch the government's new bid to stop the Channel boats.Dozens of backbenchers look set to try to block Shabana Mahmood's plans despite her pleading that they are the only way to restore public faith in the 'broken' system and keep Reform out of power.In a highly-charged Commons session last night, Ms Mahmood warned that the existing rules are 'out of control and unfair'.She insisted the idea of Britain as a 'golden ticket' for migrants must end, pledging to deport whole families - although she also suggested there could be bigger cash incentives to leave.Labour MPs queued up to condemn the 'cruel' and 'dystopian' reforms, as splits threaten to shred the party. Ms Mahmood has sounded defiance, dismissing the prospect that the overhaul could humiliatingly collapse like Keir Starmer 's welfare reform.
