Rosie Duffield has resigned as the Labour MP for Canterbury, becoming the first MP to jump ship since the General Election.
Rosie Duffield has been MP for Canterbury since 2017 Duffield, who has represented the Kent constituency since 2017, will now sit as an independent after quitting today. In her resignation letter, she criticised Keir Starmer over the high price tag gifts he and his wife received from Lord Alli. The prime minister has received more gifts and freebies than any other MP since becoming Labour leader in 2019.
Fifty-three Labour MPs abstained or were absent with one voting against. On the controversial policy, Duffield said: ‘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 these people can grasp – this is entirely undeserving of holding the title of Labour prime minister.
