Has Labour's rebellion weakened Keir Starmer?

38 min • 16 november 2023

Jess Philips - one of the 8 frontbenchers who voted against the Labour whip last night - gives her first interview to us since resigning last night from her position as Shadow Minister for Domestic Violence and Safeguarding- to 'vote with her constituents and her heart'.

Will this damage party morale and weaken Keir Starmer?

Or will it show a different side to the politics of disagreement?

Also, Rishi Sunak is undaunted by yesterday's excoriating judgmenet from the Supreme Court, making his Rwanda plan unlawful. He's got a new plan though don't worry! But will it actually get off (quite literally) the ground?
