Default PM Starmer removes Labour Whip from 4 ‘persistent rebel’ MPs

Rachael Maskell MP
Neil Duncan-Jordan MP,
Brian Leishman MP and
Chris Hinchliff MP

pushed out and three trade envoys lose roles



[Keir Starmer has fired a warning shot
to rebellious Labour MPs and moved
to reassert his grip on his party by removing
the whip from four backbenchers for
repeatedly breaching discipline.

Labour MPs Rachael Maskell,
Neil Duncan-Jordan, Brian Leishman and Chris Hinchliff
were told they had lost the party whip
on Wednesday afternoon for repeatedly rebelling
against the government.

A Labour source told the Guardian the whip
was being removed from “persistent rebels”,
while a further three Labour MPs were stripped
of their government trade envoy roles.

The surprise move, which came after
Downing Street pledged to mend relations
with the Labour backbenches after being
forced to U-turn over controversial welfare cuts,
triggered fury in sections of the parliamentary party.]

They could join the New Sub Labour
Party By Corbyn
when he starts it.
