Our MPs who didnt have the guts to disagree with Starmer

Nineteen North East Labour MPs voted to scrap winter fuel payments for pensioners, while six others dodged the vote. Only Tory MP Matt Vickers voted to keep the allowance - vital for thousands of old people in the region.
MPs voted 348 to 228 against the Tory motion after a fiery debate.
The Father of the House, Sir Edward Leigh, a Conservative former minister, accused the Government of issuing a “punishment beating” against pensioners by cutting the winter fuel allowance. There was 53 abstentions by Labour MPs who decided not to vote either way.
These included six North East MPs and Rachael Maskell representing Central York.
The six North East MPs were:
• Mary Kelly Foy - City of Durham
• Ian Lavery - Blyth and Ashington
• Kate Osborne - Jarrow and Gateshead East
• Emma Lewell-Buck - South Shields
• Andy McDonald - Middlesbrough and Thornaby East
• Grahame Morris - Easington

Apparently rebel Labour MPs have been sent threatening letters from the Whips informing them that their political career could be severely curtailed if they don’t follow the Party line, the Labour Party have quickly turned into the Nasty Party.

The voters will have forgotten how these two so called MP's let them down by the time the next election comes in 5yrs time. They will probably get in again and in the meantime bank their £91,000 saalary and live off expenses until then.
What a waste of tax payers money having those two plus another 648 MPs to run our small country.
