It appears that the storm following Sir Keir Starmer’s acceptance of gifts and donations is showing no signs of slowing. Canterbury MP Rosie Duffield resigned from the party last weekend, accusing the prime minister of “hypocrisy” regarding his acceptance of gifts from donors, including Labour peer Lord Alli.
“Since the change of government in July, the revelations of hypocrisy have been staggering and increasingly outrageous,” Duffield wrote in a resignation letter published by The Sunday Times on Saturday. “The sleaze, nepotism and apparent avarice are off the scale. I am so ashamed of what you and your inner circle have done to tarnish and humiliate our once proud party.”
