PM faces revolt on citizenship ban
A GROUP of Labour MPs are rebelling against Keir Starmer over new rules barring people who arrive in small boats from ever becoming UK citizens.
Backbencher Nadia Whittome has put forward a motion demanding a U-turn, backed by 13 colleagues including Diane Abbott and Bell Ribeiro-Addy.
Ms Whittome said: "I think most Labour MPs are not in favour of this.
"This is a continuation of the performative cruelty that we saw in the last Conservative government. The policy is designed to win back Reform voters and it just won't work."
