YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSir Keir Starmer has suspended four Labour MPs over "persistent breaches of discipline."
The party is expected to make an official announcement on the suspensions later this afternoon.
The four suspended MPs are Brian Leishman, Neil Duncan-Jordan and Chris Hinchcliff and Rachael Maskell, who led the backbench rebellion over planned welfare cuts.
This move comes as the PM desperately attempts to restore party discipline after dozens of MPs threatened to crash the Government's recent welfare bill.
All four suspended MPs voted against the bill.
