Suspension from Labour doesn't mean I'm silenced, MP says

Labour MP Rachel Maskell, suspended for defying party orders on disability benefit cuts, insists she won't be silenced and will support the government as an independent. Her suspension and those of three others were related to welfare changes and perceived disloyalty, signaling a warning to newer Labour MPs. Despite criticisms from the left, Labour loyalists view the suspensions as a way to enforce party unity, especially after rebels triggered a government U-turn.
