Who is responsible? The authority of the Prime Minister is again in question

Who is responsible? The authority of the Prime Minister is again in question


Let's start that the Prime Minister will emit four MPs this week after raising various work plans and suggestions.

But if Sir Keir really felt control over his party, why did he have to take care of a group of MPs who wouldn't even fill a family sedan? And why did he do it just a few days before he had accepted some of the logic of one of those who had accepted Chris Hinchliff, because of improvements to the proposed planning laws?

Confused? You wouldn't be the only one.

The allies of Sir Keir always say that he always believed that there were effects for MPs who have to plan the government repeatedly, also because others are asked to defend decisions that could possibly be unpopular or difficult.

After the welfare fiasco, the whip was asked to create a list of those who had actively tried to organize resistance to government plans instead of just expressing objections.

After these four evidence of the behavior of the MPs had collected, these four were shown the door at least for the time being to exercise discipline over the background.

A high -ranking government figure said: “You can have a majority as much as you want, but if you don't have a discipline at all, it can be chaotic. You cannot become chaotic at a time when the country urgently needs its government to continue with things.”

It was a separate decision to suspend Diane Abbott – another decision by the Labor headquarters, which believed that it had no choice but to act to repeat their comments as the claim that Jewish people do not experience racism in the same way as black people.

So, “behavior – or otherwise”, the message is to the rest of the Backbenschen, exactly if you want to leave Westminster.

But did the movements make a difference this week? A high -ranking MP said: “Many people keep asking themselves:” Is Keir committed to his background? “I don't think people say:” Oh, we will rebel when we are unhappy all the time. “

Another leading working figure said to me: “No. 10 was completely frightened by what happened about well -being – I don't think it is backbench, but they have an impression of power.”
