Labour's caucus will this morning begin picking up the pieces of its election loss at a special caucus meeting in Wellington. 

As well as the party's direction and the election of whips, MPs will participate in a leadership confidence vote.

Political Commentator Grant Duncan told Kate Hawkesby that while there are some great people on that team, there’s no obvious rising star to take Hipkins’ place as leader.

He said that in order for Labour to succeed, they need to think about how they’re going to restore themselves and voters’ faith in them.
