Rosie Duffield resigns from the Labour Party

[Elwood Blues]

And will be an Independent MP. The quickest resignation of an MP from a party after a general election in history

I have just read her resignation letter.

Excoriating is not the word. In fact I am not sure how to describe it

Venomous perhaps. I have never read a resignation letter like it. None of the udf in

Boats well and truly burnt I think

There can surely be no way back for her under Starmer

Here is the text from the BBC News website:

MP Rosie Duffield says she is quitting Labour over leader Keir Starmer's "cruel" policies and "hypocrisy" over his acceptance of gifts.

In her resignation letter, published by the Sunday Times, external, the MP lambasts Sir Keir Starmer for the “staggering hypocrisy” of accepting gifts worth tens of thousands of pounds while scrapping the winter fuel payment and keeping the two-child benefit cap.

In the letter she said the “revelations of hypocrisy” since the change of government in July had been “staggering and increasingly outrageous”.

"I cannot put into words how angry I and my colleagues are at your total lack of understanding about how you have made us all appear."

She added: "The sleaze, nepotism and apparent avarice are off the scale. I am so ashamed of what you and your inner circle have done to tarnish and humiliate our once proud party.”


Wow, talk about "saying it as it is"!

Yay! This has actually given me some hope. I think there will be more. SheÂ’s expressed everything I feel. IÂ’ve written plenty about Starmer. SheÂ’s spot on.

My view is she's full of crap , is a Israeli hanger on

But with regard to starmer I really don't like him and if this is the early start of him being replaced I won't be upset

Why were you imploring everybody to tactically vote for somebody you don't like?

He wanted the Tories out first and foremost. That's quite easy to understand, yes?

Re: Rosie Duffield resigns from the Labour Party

I’m not a fan of Rosie Duffield but she is absolutely right with that resignation letter. Nailed Starmer, his clique and his backers as the lying, hypocritical bunch of self-serving reactionary operators they are.
