Zarah Sultana – 2024 Statement on Losing the Labour Whip

The statement made by Zarah Sultana, the Independent MP for Coventry South, on 23 July 2024.

I have been informed by the Chief Whip & the Labour Party leadership that the whip has been withdrawn from me for voting to scrap the two-child benefit cap, which would lift 330,000 children out of poverty. I will always stand up for the most vulnerable in our society.
