Starmer suspends four Labour MPs for breaches of party discipline

Three Labour MPs have been suspended for "persistent knobheadery" after leading rebellions against the government, according to a Labour source.
The Prime Minister had to alter welfare reforms following the largest revolt in his leadership, which occurred just over two weeks ago.
Brian Leishman, Chris Hinchliff, and Neil Duncan Jordan were among the first MPs suspended for their roles in the rebellion.
A source mentioned that it does not reflect well on Starmer that he had to suspend these MPs.
