Available for over a year
Labour MP Jess Phillips says there is no animosity between her and Sir Keir Starmer after she quit the party front bench over a ceasefire vote on Gaza. Ms Phillips said on Wednesday that it was with a "heavy heart" that she was leaving her shadow minister role. "I don't feel like I am rebelling against the Labour Party, I feel like I am taking a position with my heart my head and my constituents," she said. Ten of the party's shadow frontbenchers have now left their jobs over the vote.
