Labour MPs are still shellshocked after last week's revolt on welfare. Some of the 126 rebels privately regret signing the amendment to the welfare legislation which forced ministers' humiliating retreat, given the damage to Keir Starmer and his government.
"We only wanted to blow the bloody doors off," one MP said, recalling the words of Michael Caine's character in the film The Italian Job. Rebels wonder whether they instead have brought Labour's house down.
