Labour: are you with the rebels?

Voice of the UK

Available for over a year

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has suspended four MPs from Labour over repeated breaches of party discipline. Neil Duncan-Jordan, Brian Leishman, Chris Hinchliff and Rachael Maskell have had the party whip removed, meaning they will sit as independents in the House of Commons. Three other Labour MPs have been stripped of their trade envoy roles. It comes after all four of the suspended MPs and the former trade envoys voted against the government's welfare reform bill. 5 Live listeners share their thoughts with Nicky Campbell.
