I agree with Rosie Duffield's sentiments about Keir
Starmer, but if she had been intending to resign the Labour whip, I wonder why
she didn't vote against the cut in the winter fuel allowance on 10 September.
Duffield decided to abstain instead of voting against the means testing of the winter fuel allowance which will lead to nine out of ten pensioners losing it. Only one Labour MP voted against the measure and that was Jon Trickett, who represents the West Yorkshire constituency of Hemsworth.
All three Tameside MPs - Angela Rayner, Jonathan Reynolds and Andrew Gwynne, voted to pick the pockets of British pensioners. Reynolds, recently defended the £100,000 'freebies' that Sir Keir Starmer-oid had received from wealthy donors like Lords Waheed Alli. Reynolds said that taking freebies were not the perks of being an MP but we're part of the job of being an MP.

Like you I applaud Rosie Duffield for the stance she has taken , it`s just unfortunate that she couldn`t bring herself to vote against the WFA cut rather than abstain . A politician with morals and principles is extremely rare , so she deserves praise for standing by what she believes in . Her resignation letter was magnificent ; no wonder that the hierarchy in the Labour Party have remained tight= lipped on the subject .
