Labour minister Jess Phillips says rebel MPs right to be punished for ‘slagging off own government’
A government minister said this Labor deputies will be accused of only during the rising rebels for being punished for voting against welfare reforms.
Keir Starmer suspended Rachael Maskell, Neil Duncan-Jordan, Brian Leishman and Chris Hinchliff on Wednesday after the government voted against the government’s flagship advantages at the beginning of this month.
Responding to the debate on the Prime Minister’s decision, Interior Minister Jess Phillips said on Thursday: orum I don’t agree with frequently ongoing instructions, and I spend time to work with colleagues on the back and front bench that allows us to discuss these things.
“I should say that you should say: what would happen?”
In a statement to the BBC Radio 4 to the Today, the government had to have a party discipline to function.
All four deputies voted against the government due to the welfare reform legislation, but the decision to suspend party sources and whip were taken as a result of permanent disciplinary violations instead of a single rebellion.
Speaking with Sky News, Phillips said: “We were chosen as a team under a poster and under a manifesto, and we should try to work together, and if you are moving in a way that weakens the government’s ability to deliver these things, I don’t know what you expect.”
Referring to a statement of the rebels by an anonymous source Times“I didn’t call it a permanent button title, but it’s called by some.”
Ms. Maskell, who pioneered the plans to stop the welfare reforms of the government, attempted to defend his authority on the party, saying that it was wrong to carry out the liquidation of the permanent rebels of Sir Keir.
York Central deputy said: “On this occasion, I do not think it is true.” He said.
Speaking to the BBC, he added: “I hope it will be reflected through this process during the summer, but also learns. To ensure that we are precautions of our government, there must be a better access to Backbencher.”
Meanwhile, Sir Keir, Senior Left Wing player Diane Abbott, said that he had not regretted racism that led to the removal of labor for a year.
In 2023, Hacney North and Stoke Newington deputy were disciplined because color people lived racism “all lives ve and lived differently to the Jewish people, Irish people and travelers.
Although he withdrew the words at that time, Sir Keir was suspended from the Labor Party after he said that his interpretations were antisemitic.
In a new intervention, Mrs. Abbott, who then rides the Labor Party, said she did not regret the words and stood next to her argument.
He said to the BBC: “Frankly, there must be a difference between racism about color and other types of racism because you can see a traveler or a Jewish person walking on the street, you don’t know.”
