Today, MPs have narrowly voted in favour of the government’s welfare bill.

The controversial legislation passed after a series of last minute concessions by the government, but 49 Labour MPs still rebelled.

Adam and Chris discuss what changes were made, how the government failed to manage the rebellion, and the political blow the prime minister has taken.

Plus, three former senior staff at the hospital where Lucy Letby worked have been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter. A seperate investigation was opened into the senior leadership team at the Countess of Chester hospital after Lucy Letby was convicted of murder and attempted murder in 2023.

Adam is joined by BBC Social Affairs Correspondent Michael Buchanan.
