Starmer suspends four Labour MPs for breaches of party discipline

Keir Starmer has suspended four Labour MPs, including Brian Leishman and Neil Duncan-Jordan, for 'persistent breaches of party discipline.'
The MPs voted against government welfare cuts affecting disabled individuals, which faced significant backlash from Labour members and the public.
Independent MP Zarah Sultana criticized Starmer's actions, stating they punish those advocating for disabled people's rights.
Critics argue Starmer's approach undermines Labour's core values of empathy and solidarity with vulnerable communities.
