5:24Now PlayingLabour rebel, Ian Lavery MP, says his party's rebellion over welfare reform should not weaken Labour but instead "strengthen" the government.
He added: "It gives Keir the opportunity of sitting back, drawing the line and seeing where this went wrong".
He began though by talking about Rachel Reeves, who looked visibly upset during PMQs, as her boss Keir Starmer defended his late U-turn on welfare cuts and failed to guarantee her future when challenged by Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch.
