Not Looking Rosie Is It?
//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.//

Couldn't have put it better myself.
// “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.

Rosie Duffield is a good, conviction politician.
She took horrendous abuse over her quite correct views on gender, and has resigned due to Starmer's dreadful hypocrisy.
Three months in and this is already a terrible Govt (sensible people knew it would be), and a decent politician like Duffield leaving due to Starmer's hypocrisy should give an alarming signal to him that he's already lost the dressing room.
The man is a disgrace.
