Wow, even by Aggie’s standards that’s an insane rant, and full of lies and
errors.

I’m no fan of Kier Starmer but the seven (not 6) MPs who were suspended
(not sacked) from the Labour Party for 6 months were penalised for ignoring
the whip on not removing the 2 child cap on child benefit (not the winter
fuel allowance). That’s a common thing for British parliamentary parties to
do, it’s a yellow card for not toeing the party line. If the 7 had
abstained in the voting (like 42 other Labour members) rather than opposing
the government, they would not have been subject to the discipline.

It’s a rather odd sort of punishment - all it means is that the MPs have to
be treated as independent members and aren’t officially part of the
Governing party for the duration. 

Boris Johnson suspended 21 MPs for voting against the Government on an EU
motion in 2019. The Tory government since the 2019 general election
withdrew the whip permanently from 18 members in 2020-2023, with the result
that independent ex-Tories outnumbered the Lib Dems as the fourth largest
“bloc” in Parliament in 2023-2024.

So accusing Starmer of being a despotic dictator is a lunatic stretch to
begin with. As for the rest -Christ on a crutch. There are no words.
