Acting Labour leader Harriet Harman is facing a backlash from her party's leadership candidates after she endorsed of key Tory welfare cuts.
Ms Harman said yesterday that the party would not oppose Budget plans to limit child tax credits to the first two children.
A senior supporter of Andy Burnham told ITV News' Chris Ship that "it is a ridiculous position to have adopted".
Labour will not contest the Government's latest round of welfare cuts, including the lower household benefits cap and new limits on child tax credits, the party's acting leader has said.
Harriet Harman told the BBC that her party had to acknowledge that it lost the election because voters did not trust it "on the economy and on benefits".
Ms Harman said Labour would oppose some of the changes to tax credits, as well as the abolition of the child poverty targets, but that they wouldn't do "blanket opposition" because people don't want it.
Left-wing Labour leadership contender Jeremy Corbyn indicated he would not support Ms Harman's decision.
"If it is proposed that Labour MPs are being asked to vote for the government's plans to cut benefits to families I am not willing to vote for policies that will push more children in to poverty," he said.
