Labour MP Duffield Resigns Amid Controversy

News summary

Rosie Duffield, MP for Canterbury, resigned from the Labour Party, sharply criticizing Prime Minister Keir Starmer for accepting over £100,000 in gifts while implementing unpopular policies such as cutting winter fuel payments for pensioners and retaining the two-child benefit cap. Duffield's resignation letter, published in the Sunday Times, accused Starmer of hypocrisy, sleaze, and nepotism, stating that his leadership is more about greed and power than making a difference. Her departure highlights the internal discontent within the Labour Party, exacerbated by Starmer's handling of the gifts scandal and his managerial style. Duffield's resignation is a significant blow to Starmer, as it comes less than three months into his tenure and amidst growing public and internal party dissatisfaction.
