Seven Labour MPs Lose Whip Over Child Benefit Rebellion mdi-fullscreen

Zarah Sultana has just confirmed that she has had the whip suspended thanks to the fact she voted for the SNP’s amendment to the King’s Speech. It called for the two-child benefit cap to be scrapped. Labour sources had suggested this was coming since the afternoon…

The MPs to lose the whip (for six months) are:

  • Apsana Begum
  • Imran Hussain
  • Rebecca Long-Bailey
  • Ian Byrne
  • Richard Burgon
  • Zarah Sultana
  • John McDonnell

A corbynite purge all over again. Velvet glove, iron fist…
