LABOUR is likely to employ divide-and-rule tactics when disciplining dissident MPs, it has emerged.
Westminster sources have indicated that Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s whips are considering readmitting to the parliamentary party five of the seven MPs who rebelled over the government’s decision to maintain the two-child benefit cap.
Under the scenario, members for Coventry South, Zarah Sultana, and Poplar and Limehouse, Apsana Begum, would not have their suspensions lifted.
Preferable to Starmer he may be, but there is scant sign of a sharp political break in Burnham’s policies so far — while left challenges aren’t making much of a running either, finds ANDREW MURRAY. How can socialism be put back on the map?
