Starmer’s purge of the Labour left saw Jeremy Corbyn expelled from the party, Abbott herself suspended and several MPs blocked from standing as Labour representatives in the 2024 general election. This month, Starmer said his proudest moment in office was axing the two-child benefit cap – almost two years after he suspended seven backbenchers who voted to scrap it.
