Pippa Crerar, amongst others, has an updated list of MPs who have just been suspended by the Labour Party.
Pippa Crerar posted to X:
LATEST: Keir Starmer is to remove the whip from MPs for persistent rebellions, starting with at least four on Wednesday afternoon.
The Guardian understands that four MPs set to lose the whip are Rachael Maskell, Neil Duncan-Jordan, Brian Leishman, and Chris Hinchliff.
Pippa Crerar has also followed up with a second post confirming the list of suspended MPs. The post also includes MPs who have been stripped of trade envoy roles.
These four MPs have had Labour whip suspended due to repeated breaches of party discipline, pending a future review.
Also, Labour MPs Rosena Allin Khan, Bell Ribeiro-Addy and Mohammed Yasin have been stripped of trade envoy roles.
No 10 had suggested it was taking a different approach to backbenchers post welfare rebellion: not sure this is what anybody expected.

Neil Duncan-Jordan has posted a statement to X in the last few minutes:
Statement
Since being elected I have consistently spoken up for my constituents on a range of issues, including most recently on cuts to disability benefits. I understood this could come at a cost, but I couldn't support making disabled people poorer.
Although I've been suspended from the Parliamentary Labour Party today, I've been part of the Labour and trade union movement for 40 years and remain as committed as ever to its values.
To my constituents: it's business as usual. I remain your hardworking local MP, I will continue to take up your concerns and speak up for Poole.
