Even if this were going to happen, which I doubt, they wouldn't demand you cut welfare. They would demand you had a credible budget reduction plan. And if it were me, there would be many other measures to be taken before welfare.

IMF got its claws into Britain in 1976
I used to think this was my unique discovery, because the mainstream media narrative is Thatcher did all the privatisation under guidance of Keith joseph. I discovered that Thatcher knew nothing about economics and that Britain had taken out an (unnecessary) IMF loan in 1976 under Labour, when the privatisations started. Have more recently seen it admitted that Thatcherite reforms were due to IMF, by BBC on national TV Cabinet papers from the time were recently released, i haven't read through them, but listening to people who have, they raised the same issues about the IMF |

If you dont get the loan you will have to cut welfare anyway as you wont have the money. Anyway the circumstances that would lead to IMF intervention are likely to mean there is no choice but to agree to their terms.
