The Labour Party is facing internal conflict as former leader Jeremy Corbyn attempts to form a 'rebel alliance' against current leader Keir Starmer, following the suspension of seven MPs.
These MPs were suspended for voting against the government on an amendment to scrap the two-child benefit cap, a policy limiting parents' benefits to their first two children. The move has sparked widespread backlash within the party, with accusations of 'complete control freakery' and claims of bullying by party whips.
This turmoil highlights deep divisions within the Labour Party, as Corbyn seeks to unite those opposed to Starmer's leadership approach and policies.
