You can expect them to be until they get a leader. To be honest I think Harman did the sensible thing. She is refusing to commit Labour to anything during her time there and let the next leader position for party where they think best. Voting for would enrage the base and voting against would allow the Tories to portray them as welfare fans.

Let's not pretend Osborne isn't setting traps for them either. The budget on reflection will impact poorer families more than the rest and there is a mixture of good benefit reductions and more controversial ones.
