Starmer banned me from Labour Conference. I went anyway | Neil Duncan-Jordan interview

In this interview outside Labour Conference, we speak to MP Neil Duncan-Jordan, who has hit out at Keir Starmer after being banned from attending conference as a Labour MP. Duncan Jordan recently lost the Labour whip in Westminster for speaking out and voting against the controversial welfare bill, a policy that campaigners argue has plunged hundreds of thousands of children into poverty.

In this candid conversation, Duncan-Jordan explains why he took a stand against the welfare bill, describing it as morally indefensible and completely at odds with Labour’s historic mission to protect the most vulnerable. He criticises Keir Starmer’s Labour leadership, saying the party has drifted away from its values during its first year in government.

Duncan Jordan lays out a bold vision for what a left-wing Labour government should look like. He calls for transformative policies such as ending austerity measures, restoring universal benefits, investing in public services, and expanding public ownership in key sectors like energy, housing and transport. He argues that only a radical break with the status quo can deliver real change for working-class communities across the UK.

The discussion raises serious questions about the direction of Labour under Starmer, the silencing of dissent within the party, and whether MPs like Duncan-Jordan still have a place in a Labour movement increasingly controlled from the top.

This is a must-watch interview for anyone interested in the future of the Labour Party, its internal battles, and the fight for a genuinely progressive alternative.
