Starmer suspends four Labour MPs for breaches of party discipline

UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 16 – Sir Keir Starmer suspended four Labour MPs after a July 1 welfare reform rebellion, with nine MPs now suspended for defying party discipline on benefit cuts, sources said.

  • Three Labour MPs have been suspended for "persistent knobheadery" after leading rebellions against the government, according to a Labour source.
  • The Prime Minister had to alter welfare reforms following the largest revolt in his leadership, which occurred just over two weeks ago.
  • Brian Leishman, Chris Hinchliff, and Neil Duncan Jordan were among the first MPs suspended for their roles in the rebellion.
  • A source mentioned that it does not reflect well on Starmer that he had to suspend these MPs.
