Starmer suspends three Labour MPs for breaching party discipline
Published: 7/16/2025

Keir Starmer suspends Labour MPs Duncan-Jordan, Leishman, and Hinchliff for defying party discipline by voting against the government's proposed welfare cuts. This move comes after 47 Labour MPs rebelled against the government, weakening Starmer's authority. The suspended MPs will now sit as independents in the House of Commons, with their party whip removed. The rebellion highlights internal divisions within the Labour party over welfare reform and government policies.
