Home Office left in chaos as Keir Starmer refuses to sack junior minister who Shabana Mahmood has accused of disloyalty

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has been left frustrated after Keir Starmer declined to dismiss junior minister Mike Tapp, whom she accused of disloyalty. Tapp wrote an article advocating for exemptions for foreign care workers in Mahmood's immigration policy. This disagreement highlights tensions within the party over the approach to immigration and the role of care workers, potentially impacting the government's ability to manage its policies effectively. The refusal to act on Mahmood's request also suggests internal divisions on how to handle dissent within the ranks.
