Speaking exclusively to The Sunday Times' Caroline Wheeler, Rosie Duffield reveals she is resigning as a Labour MP blaming Keir Starmer’s "cruel and unnecessary" policies and the freebies row that is engulfing him for her departure.

Her letter is remarkable. Bravo.
Hi russell.... rosie's got more guts in her little finger. Blessings rosie, he has not brainwashed you ....
@@sheilaworboys1515 Sorry, I only speak English. I don’t know what you mean.
@@RussellTurner hi... I'm speaking OLD ENGLISH, it means she is a much stronger person than STARMER . I'm 82 years old so if you are young you were
Confused ... sorry to confuse you. We have much to learn in life.... all I can say is God bless dear, God gives wisdom.
@@RussellTurnerHer comment was perfectly understandable..you’re just being rude..🤨
Well done Rosie! Respect to you!!
Rosie you are now very much respected, leaving the Liebour party is a wonderful decision,but watch out...Stoma may well be "on your case". Good luck for the future, I'm sure it will be a much happier one now your away from "them lot".
Respect and admiration Rosie Duffield. An MP with integrity and morals.👏👏👏👏👏👏
An honest politician?.....wow ....There is hope
True ! Sadly a VERY rare thing nowadays
Bravo to this lady ....someone who has integrity..self respect ..and a moral compass 👍👍👍...
Good on you Rosie. Totally agree with your reasons for leaving.
Good for you
Well done Rosie I like your views and your honesty, i wish there were more like you🙏🏻
Well done Rosie
I hope that more Labour MPs find the guts to leave the party and find some moral backbone.
They should have defeated him on every level.
They are weak as water!
Should I start holding my breath now?
I think there will more leaving because I don't think there might not be a laboure in the future
With Rosie Duffield joining the 7 MPs that rebelled the 2 child benefit cap vote, their parliamentary majority is already down 16 from what it was when they won the election.
The MPs for Wales🏴should be ashamed of them selves.. Cheering and clapping on winning the vote to cut the winter fuel allowance.. Shame on them SHAME.. 🏴🏴🏴
Brave decision, they'll really dump on her for this.
It's not brave. To use one of Starmers mantra's "it's the right thing to do". Let's hope her Labour colleagues start to demonstrate the same level of integrity.
They’ve been dumping on her for ages anyway 😔
@@Moodyblue-o9ncountry before party
How can they dump on her? She's no longer a Labour MP.
I'm hoping she joins up with Jeremy Corbyn and hands Starmer another slap down!
They already had
If any of them had a spine they would all resign
They are probably all WEF puppets
GOD BLESS ROSIE DUFFIELD
Its cold being an independent?
Bravo a member of parliament who has values of principle.
I am sure Rosie will continue to represent her constituents to the highest standards.
As a reform mp
my hero of the week , good for you you have a wonderful heart & and a clear conscience !!!!!!
I cant wait for Talk Tv on Monday!!!
@@tedbutler1761 Did she vote 'No' to removing pensioners winter fuel allowance. Is she only leaving now because she has a new underwear line about to launch (what is it with Labour and underwear). Does not need the £91,000 anymore.
Whole lotta Rosie!!
Rosie, I'm proud of you, And the more mp whow follow you will be a Success...
Starmer is Clueless, Embarrassing, And a Disgrace....He will Destroy Labour for Years to Come...
You.Well Done....
His only good point.
But will free the sausages
He's not clueless though. He's doing everything very deliberately.
Rosie was too good for Labour. Starmer is despicable.
Rosie is TRUE Labour, there to represent the PEOPLE. The LAST TRUE Labour Leader was Neil Kinnock, sadly ! !
Rare to find an honest and principled MP I hope she keeps her seat...already Labour's castle made of sand is beginning to erode!
What happens to her seat now? What is the normal protocol when an MP resigns from a party
@@AngloSaxonVanguard she will stay in parliament as an independent MP...unless her constituents sign a petion asking for a recall which triggers a byelection...in this case i suspect her views will make her more popular and i would expect her to remain as an MP
@@AngloSaxonVanguardnothing happens.
If her constituents don’t want her they can start a petition and need 10,000 signatures from the constitution she represents and then Demand a by-election which may or may not be granted without a court battle as she hasn’t broken the law.
She’s the 11th Labour MP to either quit or lose the whip since Starmer got pm job.
Worst record in the entire history of modern UK parliament .
MPs quitting a party after election is one of the changes demanded by political reformers .
after more research i am wrong...she defineately keeps her seat...a recall petion can only happen if an MP breaks the law or something like that!!
@pauls3204 I'm glad she will keep her seat then. We need more people like her who have integrity to come forward and do the same.
Good for you, Rosie... Do right.. 👍
Thank you Rosie for being honest unlike mr greedy/hypocrite pensioner hater.
surprised its taken so long before labour starts to break up
Someone with morals at last, well done.
if she had murals she would stand down altogether and run as the independent in the by election.
Well done Rosie thank you x
The way people have treated her in that disgusting party absolutely is disgusting ....how anybody especially women can support this party is beyond me .....well done rosie duffield
Wow , I'm shocked a politician with values. Respect to Rosie 💯🇬🇧🌟👏
Well done Rosie, you speak for millions on this particular issue and your letter is surely one of the most devastating in the political history of these islands. I would also point out that you have been an absolute hero on the gender issue in the face of vile attacks by so many in your party.
I'm sure her constituents will back her 100%, she is so brave.
They should be disappointed, if they're really Labour diehards.
Bye election!
Lets hope they now vote Reform.This is a punch in the face to Starmer.
@@j.4332
She should resign as an MP.
But then she lose £91,000 per annum.
So, it IS about money.
@@j.4332
She should resign as M P !
How would that help@@ant7936she would get re elected just for this. Lot of old folk in Canterbury
I really don't blame you, Rosie, I couldn't work for a rubbish team either. It is a shame that we're losing all the adults in our government, Labour is not Labour anymore.
The LINO party.(Labour in name only).
They are not rubbish they are full on hypocrites and they are even worse than STories. They also appear to be liars and sleazy.
It's worth repeating at every opportunity - always remember that Starmer got 500,000 fewer votes than Corbyn's worst performance. So no matter how the media try and spin it, he was never popular!
We need more politicians with this kind of integrity.
Well done Rosie, you have a conscience.
We can all have a conscience if we are earning £91,000. I'm disgusted with this woman and those like her. I would not pay them in washers.
@@Buzzj4k more disgusted if she stayed.
@@Buzzj4kwell Starmer, Reeves and Rayner get paid more and they don’t have one
@@melgrant7404 She has stayed, she is still an MP and still collecting her 91k. A real principal would be to resign as an MP and call a by election on the principal.
@@bobsocks7575 None of them have. This woman is no different.
Nice to hear an honest MP who has integrity, I hope you manage never to lose it .
Not a labour supporter but admire Rosie for standing on her principles
I so admire this lady💐. I hope that she is the first of many.
This lady has got integrity 👏
So whys she not giving up her 91k then
Well done Rosie behind you 100 percent.
Well done this is the best news coming from Labour so far, many more to follow!!
Well done, at least Canterbury has an MP with integrity 🎉 the constituency gives her full support. 🙌🏼
A FEMALE OF INTEGRITY WITH A SOUL
Starmer is a misogynist.
I think you mean a person 😂
Well I hope she isn't the only one . nobody could have guessed what a sinister character Starmer is.hopefully this will open the floodgates.very brave of her
House Of Cards....
I knew he was an evil person read plenty about his CPS days Jimmy Raoe Gangs etc
Well done.
brave rosie the first of many to exit toxic starmer
@@brianbottomley7000 hi Rosie reform will give you job no problem
@@JanetDAVIS-kx4zu
Why would she join the party of sex pests
The party will kick starmer out before the end of this year. More revelation's will finish him!
I hope so .I despise him
Week I thing
I can’t believe his barefaced cheek, or is it bare cheeked?
@@dominiclane8538 Me too!!
The whole party need to be kicked out.Not worthy of government.
Well done! Someone has principles.
But not enough to give up her seat, taken on Labour agenda.
The most hated PM
Good on you Rosie xxx
LIEBOUR ARE OWNED BY LORD ALLI...FREEGEARKEIR IS A LIAR & A HYPOCRITE!
Rosie Duffield has the courage and conviction to do the right thing, I can only hope others in the party do the same. Not naming any names and not holding my breath . Good luck to Rosie for the future!
£16,000 for clothes claimed as a donation to the party. How stupid do they think we are!!!?
1st of many if you’ve any heart!! Worse PM EVER!!!
2 months and hes the worst ever. Where have you been the past 14yrs ffs
As far as I am concerned , it would make no difference if Starmer apologised 100 times over, he would only be doing so because it has backfired on him. Considering there are hundreds of people up and down the country who struggle to pay their bills every month. I don’t know how he sleeps in his bed at night. No integrity what so ever, totally appalling, and that is putting it mildly.
Thinks this is the rot setting in. Rosie Rosie for PM😊😊
Do you think Lord (Backdoor) Ali has penetrated starmers inner circle?
Inner ring??? lol!!
Wow at last someone stands up against this hypocrisy , let’s hope others follow and do the right thing
Well done the Rt. Hon. Rosie Duffield. Your conscience is intact. A worthy representative of your constituency.
Don't think she is a member of the Privy Council, but she is still the Honorable...
A Lady with principles, well you were never going to fit in with the duplicitous morally incorrupt Labour Party
"Principles" would be giving up her MP status, taken under Labour agenda.
The Labour MPs from Stoke-on-Trent voted to "STOP" the winter fuel allowance, hope he freezes this winter 🥶❄️ he's got his mouth in the Trough !!!!!
No decent person would stay in the Labour party
Well done Rosie, a politition with integrity, common sense and values.
And backbone.
Good on Rosie hope there are more to follow ! Starmer is so wrong & doesn't deserve support !!!
Wish that my local MP had the backbone of Rosie
My local mp told a young lady that ice skating was ‘white supremacy’ and he won’t back her campaign to get an ice rink in the area. A child. Just wanting to play sport.
Well done. This is not Labour as we all thought. I certainly hope they don’t last the full term .
I may not agree with your politics Rosie, but I damn well admire your ethics. Mr Starmer seems to be the worst type of person to be our Prime Minster who accepts freebies and is therefore beholding to those giving them. How Labour can ditch it's proud traditions of trying to help the needy and stand up to the powerful and instead be the powerful and punish the needy is so wrong. This is not a Labour government, it's a dictatorship hell bent on doing what it likes and ignoring the people. Thank you Rosie
I believe they have a Marxist agenda.
So the past 14yrs were just a blur for you were they
@@iandawe948 You lose on this one heavily. Count the votes sonny. Go polish your helmet moped boy.😂
@@ottolotto-t9l
Any chance. We could have that nonsense in english
*Free the sausages*
A breath of fresh air. A MP who has the courage of her convictions in the Labour party.
Well said Rosie. Reform supporter here.
An MP with integrity. Love and respect to you Rosie.
Well done that lady.....The party is on another planet........It will end in tears...... Good luck to you....
They'll try and smear her with something in the next month or so. Starmer's minions will be trying to find dirt on her. Remember whatever it is will be BS.
WHY DO THIS WHOLE APOLOGY BULLSHIT , WRONG IS WRONG... DON'T MAKE EXCUSES
well done Rosie good luck as a Independent
Need more like you . Well done Rosie
WD Rosie, hope more follow you hun.
Well done Rosie your a true MP . 1 % 2% on Billionaires would sort the problem. Many elderly people will die first before mean testing . Starmer a nasty person .
Her resignation letter is a powerful indictment of Starmer, not only as a politician but also as a person. And it is quite wide reaching, citing the treatment of Diane Abbott.
And the parting shot:
I hope to be able to return to the party in the future, when it again resembles the party I love, putting the needs of the many before the greed of the few.
Love what you are saying and doing Rosie, but your long term Political future will be more secure by joining Reform. However, kudos to you for following your convictions! 👍🏻
Yes, Yes, Yes, join REFORM !
NOPE! Reform are merely disaffected Tories. What is needed is an apolitical grouping. The principles of such a grouping would be non conformist, individual freedoms, self governance (i.e. not party based!) , small business etc etc
@@malcolmripley6227 Social Democratic Party have policies more in line with your wishes.
An MP with a spine BRAVO. Kim il Starmer must go
Well done Rosie
Well done more to follow i hope !!
Very well done Rosie. You are one of the few people in parliament who has honour and morals.
Good luck in wherever you go next. Wherever that may be.
Good for her! ❤
Well done you brave Lady with a proper backbone and courage in your heart. My father was born in 1907 and he was a true Labour supporter just like you. He will be resting well tonight because at least one person in Labour had a spine to call these champagne socialists out.
Never thought I would see the day when I would have respect for a (now ex) labour member.
Labour despise the poor and the working class
And older folk
My MP here in Kent. Always been a very strong genuine woman. A very brave womam .....round of applause. An honest Politician.
Well done Rosie, a laughdable action.
Good girl, you know it makes sense
Wouldn't it be funny if half the Labour MP's walked across the floor to Reform!
It would be wonderful.
Yes, but only the honest ones
As a Canterbury constituent, I stand by Rosie Duffield
Well done Rosie should have done it the day of the wfp vote
Well said Rosie I APLAUDE you 👋
Well done Rosie 👍👍👍
Hooray this lady has backbone and understanding and is not too scared to speak out! Bless you Rosie
Well done Rosie for your high morals
Looks like Starmer has duped his MP's as well as the country.
How about getting rid of the benefits of having being able to claim for up to 6 wives if your a Pakistani I thought that was illegal in Britain?
God bless you rosie.....
It's not just Starmer who has abandoned Labour principles, Reeves must share the blame.
An MP with integrity...which is far more than you can say about our leaders...good luck Rosie..
Rosie is a decent woman.
Zero beer, one queen, two tier, free gear Kier Sharia harmer is a shambles
The red queen has been tangoed 😳😳😳Brava to RD👏👏👏
Seen the light!!
Well done Rosie. Respect to you. I think more will leave .
