Not Looking Rosie Is It?

[Togo]

//Canterbury MP Rosie Duffield has resigned the Labour whip, accusing the Prime Minister of “hypocrisy” and pursuing “cruel and unnecessary” policies.
In a resignation letter, Ms Duffield attacked Sir Keir Starmer’s decision to keep the two-child benefit cap and means-test winter fuel payments and condemned his handling of the outcry over gifts given to him and other senior Labour figures.//

//She wrote: “Someone with far-above-average wealth choosing to keep the Conservatives’ two-child limit to benefit payments which entrenches children in poverty, while inexplicably accepting expensive personal gifts of designer suits and glasses costing more than most of those people can grasp – this is entirely undeserving of holding the title of Labour Prime Minister.”//

Couldn't have put it better myself.

//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.”//

 

Oh dear. The wheels are falling off already.

"Ms Duffield did not vote on either the proposed amendment to the King’s Speech or a recent Conservative motion calling for the restriction of the winter fuel payment to be halted."

 

Good for her, almost having the courage of her convictions.

A party with a huge majority loses it's first MP within 3 months. By election? Nope. Whip Lost? nope, how about total disgust with her own party. Respect to Rosie Duffield, hopefully the first of many. Gawd help the nation if we have to endure 5 years of this omnishambles.

// “Forcing a vote to make many older people iller and colder while you and your favourite colleagues enjoy free family trips to events most people would have to save hard for – why are you not showing even the slightest bit of embarrassment?”//

I did say that his lack of shame shames us all. Right so far.
