Yes: major props to John Trickett. But I think it's hard cheese, not to count the 7 Labour MPs who have already had the whip removed over the 2-child benefit cap, as Labour MPs. They are, aren't they? Because their constituents elected them as such. Kid Starver Granny Freezer Pensioner Killer may wish to get rid of them, but he can't outside of a byelection or a GE. So - don't they count as Labour rebels too? 🙂
Anyway. Tons of newspapers, such as the Independent and even tne Daily Express, say that Starmer has endured a massive rebellion, due to the 50-odd of his MPs who abstained. Of course, 50 No votes would have been even better, because he couldn't have withdrawn the whip from that many! 😏
(I don't believe in a "whipping system" at all, btw. It undermines democracy because it makes MPs betray their constituents. 👎)
