Tom Bradby and Robert Peston hosted a live question and answer session as rebel Labour MPs dealt Sir Keir Starmer his biggest humiliation yet in government. The prime minister's welfare reform bill passed its second reading in the Commons in the end, but it was watered down so heavily it was barely recognisable from when it was first unveiled.

You can also watch all episodes of Talking Politics on YouTube and ITVX.
