Has Keir Starmer overreacted to his seven rebels?
Keir Starmer has faced down his first rebellion by removing the whip from 7 Labour rebels who voted with the SNP to end the cap on child benefits for families of more than two children.
Did Starmer overreact? Or does it look decisive? And is this really the policy he wants to hold out on? A decade old policy of Osborne austerity.
We speak directly to one of the rebels who lost the whip and ask what happens now.
