Nope. Remember this was before the election was called.
Accepting the tory defections under labours whip was a tactical requirement. As it was also an open statement by those MPs that they would support Labour in a vote of no confidence.
The threat of more tories doing it. Or calling a inter party vote wass very likely way Rushi Sunk made his short notice soaked announcement when he did.
Honestly there was a reason tory MPs with no history of Labour idealism. Were defecting while clearly stating they would not run post election.
Parliment was in the process of planning to kick the government out by force. And these MPs agreed.
