Sky News’ Sam Coates and Politico’s Anne McElvoy serve up their essential guide to the day in British politics.

Labour is still reeling over a rebellion by one in four of its MPs on the issue of welfare cuts. How can Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer recover the numbers and avoid a political humiliation?

The government’s working majority is 165, so it only takes 83 Labour MPs to vote with a united opposition and this bill is dead – and along with it, a lot of this government’s political and moral credibility.

Also on this episode, Sam has been sent a draft of part of the latest NHS 10-year plan about alcohol treatment.
