Has the UK Prime Minister lost authority after landmark welfare vote? | BBC Newscast

Today, UK members of parliament have narrowly voted in favour of the government’s welfare bill. The controversial legislation passed after a series of last minute concessions by the UK government, led by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, but 49 Labour MPs still rebelled. Adam Fleming and Chris Mason discuss what changes were made to the bill, how the government failed to manage the rebellion and the political blow the UK Prime Minister has taken. Plus, three former senior staff at the hospital where nurse 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.
