Okay, I'm quite surprised that the cracks are already showing this quickly and hilariously it's over them trying to implement what seems to be a fairly sensible policy.
TLDR as I understand it: Labour seems to be taking away migrant gibs through the use of child benefit limits as a way of stemming the flow because of Conservative pandering to try and keep up appearances.
Keir Starmer has no problem purging people from the party and has stated as such who don't do what he says. This could be a hilarious moment in the UK where thanks to their migration plans Labour inadvertently end up causing a ton of migrants to self-deport claiming racism. They have quite a few strange plans for the British Channel as well and are setting up a new organisation to handle migration.
I'm not necessarily optimistic this is going to change anything but it does seem like there's infighting happening in the left here in the UK. Deep state Labour clearly want to reel things in a bit so that they can continue the slow crawl for demographic replacement, but the leftists want full steam ahead.
Awful Guardian article in that they don't actually elaborate what "suspended" actually means.
The Westminster Parliamentary system is fake and gay in that you supposedly elect a local representative. But this same representative is then chided into voting along party lines 100% of the time, otherwise they are immediately punished and often cast out.
Which means that the person wearing the suit is irrelevant because like sports, you are only electing the colour of laundry to root for.
This is correct, because it's a UK paper it makes the assumption people know what suspended means in the UK system. What this means is the MP can be suspended from from a party permanently or temporarily depending on how out of line the party things they're being. This does not mean however that they are booted out of their position, they would be declared an independent, hope that clears things up. There are some strange procedures in the UK regarding an MPs position generally though, there have been cases where by-elections have been brought against them if they've committed crimes and things like that.
Hope that clears things up.
We don't have the political concept of "suspended" in Leafland.
MPs who vote against party lines immediately get removed from caucus and sit as independents.
But sitting as an independent is a death sentence for career politicians.
They lose all their perks that come from party membership in Parliament - committee appointments, allotted speaking time in Parliament, research resources, office space, etc.
Then they ultimately get demolished in the next election because NPCs only vote by colour.
Look at poor Andrew Bridgen in the UK election on July 4th. He had previously won his Tory seat with 50%+ support. Then he got booted from the Conservatives for being too based about the jab. He ran again as an independent and has single digit support.
You can thank normies for that one, which is why I despise them. I could at least respect a constituency if they couldn't stomach anybody vaguely right wing if they voted independent for a candidate that represents their interests even if I don't agree with what they believe in. However more often than not like we've all been discovering in our lives most members of the public are physically incapable of voting for anything else.
