In recent sessions of Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs), UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has faced Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and other MPs, addressing ongoing political challenges including the fallout from a major Afghan data breach. Amid these parliamentary confrontations, Starmer has taken decisive action within his Labour Party by suspending four MPs—Rachael Maskell, Neil Duncan-Jordan, Brian Leishman, and Chris Hinchliff—and removing trade envoy roles from three others. These moves are seen as an effort to reassert control over the party and to send a warning against future rebellions. While some commentators view the suspensions as a necessary assertion of authority, others caution that such actions risk portraying Starmer as vindictive. Starmer also held a major press conference where he issued a warning to Labour rebels, emphasizing his intent to maintain party discipline.
