The MP has given up the party whip and attacked the Primer Minister in her resignation letter
A Labour MP has resigned with 'immediate effect' and given up the party whip as she attacked Keir Starmer over the gifts he and his wife received from Lord Alli. Rosie Duffield, MP for Canterbury, wrote in her resignation letter about the Prime Minister's decision to 'keep the Conservatives' two-child limit' on benefits which 'entrenches children into poverty'.
She has long been seen as an outsider in the party over her views on trans issues and her friendship with JK Rowling. “With my views, all I wanted was for those views to be taken seriously and discussed and I think as a movement the Labour Party has shifted and we are talking about those things now,” she said in an interview with the Times.
