Karl Turner responds saying his suspension relates to his opposition to jury trial changes
Party’s position, I understand, is that it’s not a policy related decision
Karl Turner MP@KarlTurnerMP
I’ve been a loyal Labour MP for 16 years and have only broken the whip on jury trials. I’m disappointed to be suspended without prior discussion. I’ll always stand up for justice, my principles, and East Hull. See my statement below.

Karl Turner MP@KarlTurnerMP
I am being told that I have had the whip suspended but I have not had any notification from the whips about this. It seems journalists have been told but I have not.

On Trump’s claims about talks with Iran 🚨 sources tell me over the past two days the Trump administration via intermediaries reached out to the Iranians. Messages were exchanged via Egypt, Turkey and potentially Pakistan. The Iranian point of contact is Foreign Minister Araghchi, the request was to open talks with Iran’s Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf. Notable this was an American attempt to re-engage the Iranians not the other way around as claimed by President Trump.

I hear the emergency Cobra meeting to be attended by the Governor of Bank of England, Andrew Bailey - to discuss the government’s response to the economic shock caused by Trump’s war - will happen tomorrow. I assume the PM will be interrogated - on any new plans to protect living standards - by MPs on the liaison committee in the afternoon
