Indeed John - reasonable question, where was the review on the defence expenditure and Ukrainian support? If Starmer / Labour were serious about a "review" on child poverty (do you need a review as don't all the statistics readily available indicate the problem) then suspending MPs for a bit of finessing or pre-empting this decision is just vindictive. but of course, he knows that with his huge majority that is actually going to be a serious problem for him maintaining "discipline" in disputes in his own party. This is pour discouragent les autres or don't you dare - we can expect to see many more similar votes designed to embarrass Labour.
