She says: “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.”
Doubtless the first of many.

Good for her, she has had a rough time from the Labour leadership over her common sense stance on gender rubbish, she has hit the nail on the head with her resignation letter. Rumour is that a Sunday Paper is going to break an interesting story about Sir Keir, that might be quite enjoyable, didn't take long for it all to fall apart.
Perhaps Ms Raynor may be PM sooner than she imagined, can you think what it might be like, I am quite glad that I am a pensioner with a socialist created reduced life expectancy at the very thought of how bad it will be to be British born and bred in this unraveling society.

Well on the Brightside she surely cannot be the only one who might have noticed what a bunch of self serving assholes they all are.

Her resignation letter pulls few punches and cites many things a leader needs to worry about.
No leader would be stupid enough to say or do anything openly but it does occur to be Starmer the Pension Harmer doesn't actually give a shit
I do hope so.

They're lining their own pockets whilst hurting the ordinary and vulnerable people of this country.

She's probably pissed off at not being given a place in the Labour Cabinet.

She's probably pissed off at not being given a place in the Labour Cabinet. Given her resignation letter criticises her own elevation without as she sees it a period of working for it, your logic seems a tad flawed. |

Given her resignation letter criticises her own elevation without as she sees it a period of working for it, your logic seems a tad flawed. I'd agree that grasping the probability that See2 has identified isn't immediately easy. The opinion conveyed by the media since Starmer became Party leader was that after Corbyn and Diane Abbott, Duffield was quite possibly the third most disliked Labour MP by the Party's leadership. Every impression given is that Starmer wouldn't have said as much as 'Hello' to Rosie during the last couple of years, and that any Cabinet of his would predictably be packed with Starmerites such as Lammy, Yvette, Reeves, Nandy, that Defence Minister bloke etc. It would be self delusion on the grandest scale if Rosie imagined for one nanosecond that she'd go from being persona non grata to being offered a seat around the Cabinet table. See2 might well consider it's worth investing in a new grapevine. I believe The Baron is already in the market for one, but will be ordering his from China  . |

John can, and I'm sure will, speak for himself. But it does seem likely that an initial quick read of her resignation letter didn't leave him fully realising that when Rosie wrote:
'But, as someone elevated immediately to a shadow cabinet position without following the usual path of honing your political skills on the backbenches'
she was referring to Starmer and his hasty elevation to the Shadow Cabinet, and not to herself.
While not ideally worded for clarity here and there, it was nonetheless a cracking good letter which I've just enjoyed re-reading now, every bit as much as the first time I saw it.
What is clear is that Old Labour and The Starmerites are different breeds, and we'll doubtless see other backbenchers tread the Duffield path as their discomfort with the present Government grows.

If Duffield wasn’t in Starmers inner circle it doesn’t mean that she resigned because of it . It could mean that she COULD resign without fear because they have nothing on her .

Actually, I did misunderstand, but not quite in the way see2 clearly hoped. On reading her letter I reviewed Starmer's cabinet choices. It seems clear he has indeed handed out jobs to some whose experience is shall we say limited Although Sir Take The Knee needs to hand at least one brief to a Moslem, of course, to counterbalance his own Zionism, and Wes Streeting has unique experience from having a grand father convicted of bank robbery, which is a credential much in demand if your policy requires mugging pensioners for their winter fuel payments, bus passes, council tax concessions and failing to raise tax thresholds to stop the state pension being taxed for the first time ever, etc. But in direct reply to See2, no, I did not have any misconceptions about her position. |

You do not know what I hoped for. If those chosen are on track for the rescuing of the UK from the ever continuation of Tory failure, then they are the right people for the job. " Sir Take The Knee" --- I didn't expect you to sink so low. Is your 'Dark' side of DNA showing? I had good reason to ask. |
