YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

It’s “quite likely” Labour rebels will have the whip restored. What does that mean for the Prime Minister?

Subscribe on YouTube

Keir Starmer suspended the whip from seven MPs who voted against the Labour government over the two-child benefit cap. What does that mean, and can he maintain this level of discipline over the next five years?

Hannah Barnes and Rachel Cunliffe answer listener questions in our weekly You Ask Us episode.

They also discuss whether the Prime Minister welcomes feedback from “critical friends”, and why the last Labour government failed on house building.
