Karl Turner has Labour whip suspended after criticism of Starmer and No 10

MP for Hull East had recently given interview with Jody McIntyre, campaigner who stood against Jess Phillips in 2024

The MP Karl Turner has lost the Labour whip, after making a series of interventions criticising Keir Starmer and No 10, especially changes to jury trials.

Turner had been informed by the chief whip, Jonathan Reynolds, that he had had the whip suspended because of his conduct, a Labour source said. Turner denied he had been informed by the whips and said he had learnt about his suspension from journalists.
