Finally I can post about politics again
Does Starmer really have the political capital to keep doing this after the huge rebellion on the disability benefits?
Sources confirm that Labour suspending at least three MPs - others could follow and some expected to get warnings.
They are three new MPs - Neil Duncan Jordan who spoke out first against winter fuel, Chris Hinchliff who led rebellion on planning and Brian Leishman.
Possible there could be more

This government cutting benefits for those unable to work, proposing to raise the age to 22 and continued narrative about workshy really makes clear who they hate. If you’re young and disabled this government sees you as a stain on society. No different to the Tories that came before them

Rachel Reeves promised to be the first green chancellor.
Instead, subscribing to the false narrative growth & net-zero are opposing, she is shredding this government’s environmental credentials to chase GDP. Please sign ⬇️

Don't expand Heathrow Airport!
URGENT: The Government could let a third runway be built at Heathrow Airport. It would spell bad news for the environment - and could see flight prices go up £40 per ticket, so bad for our pockets too...

A third runway at #Heathrow in the midst of a climate emergency is a vile act of vandalism. Rachel Reeves is happy to burn the planet for a tiny (probably elusive) increment of GDP. How does this benefit us?

Not a good look for Rachel Reeves to say ‘growth trumps all other things’ yikes
UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband is in another fight with the Treasury.
And, as the government desperately pursues good news on economic growth, he looks destined to lose again.

New piece. Elon Musk wants to be the whole world’s unelected dictator.
I mean that literally.
The strategy is succeeding in the US. But it’s being implemented the world over.
It may be easy to dismiss because it sounds outlandish. He’s depending on that.

Negotiations of the Global Plastic Treaty at INC5 failed as a small no. of petrostates led by Saudi Arabia held them hostage using delay tactics, unwillingness to negotiate and weaponizing consensus. Incredibly frustrating to see as 100+ countries backed a Treaty that would curb plastic production
