Not My Labour
Damn this so-called Labour - definitely not my Labour -
At least Rosie has principles.
Canterbury MP Rosie Duffield has resigned the Labour whip, accusing the Government of pursuing “cruel and unnecessary” policies while accepting gifts and donations.
In a resignation letter to Sir Keir Starmer, she criticised the Prime Minister for accepting gifts and donations worth more than £100,000 from Labour peer Lord Waheed Alli.
In the letter published by the Sunday Times she said: “Since the change of government in July, the revelations of hypocrisy have 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.”
