Labour continues suspension of Apsana Begum, Zarah Sultana and John McDonnell
PRO-PALESTINE Muslim women MPs were singled out for punishment today as Labour whips refused to restore Apsana Begum and Zarah Sultana to the parliamentary party.
The two leading left MPs were suspended with five others in July for voting against the government’s policy of maintaining the cruel two-child benefit cap.
The plan to target them was first reported exclusively in the Star last month.
