The government has lost five votes in the House of Commons since Starmer’s election as leader of the opposition. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_government_defeats_in_the_House_of_Commons_since_1945 On several other occasions, the government let Labour’s position pass without a vote to avoid a defeat, e.g. the vote to investigate Johnson over partygate. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/apr/21/how-senior-tories-frantic-efforts-failed-to-block-boris-johnson-inquiry
