After the extraordinary events of yesterday, when National Party leader Simon Bridges singled out Jami-Lee Ross as the most likely leaker of his travel expenses, what is the future of the National MP for Botany?

The salvos fired at Mr Bridges by Jami-Lee Ross via twitter are now under scrutiny. National MPs will decide this morning whether to suspend Mr Ross.

Political commentators, former National Party staffer,  David Farrar and executive director of UMR Research and former political adviser to two Labour governments Stephen Mills will discuss the fallout.
