Duffield quits Labour party
MP Rosie Duffield, who has resigned the Labour whip, accusing the Prime Minister of "hypocrisy" and pursuing "cruel and unnecessary" policies, October 21, 2021
“At local level, it’s different."
LABOUR voters are being exploited and taken for granted, Rosie Duffield, the Canterbury MP, said, quitting the party in disgust on Saturday.
She resigned the Labour whip after accusing Prime Minster Sir Keir Starmer of hypocrisy over the donations scandal while imposing “cruel and unnecessary” benefit cuts.
In her resignation letter, she attacked Sir Keir's decision to keep the two-child benefit cap and means-test winter fuel payments.
