In a damning resignation letter, Ms Duffield lashed out at Sir Keir Starmer's acceptance of more than 100,000 of clothes, glasses and accommodation from Labour peer Waheed Alli, stating: '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.' This highlights growing concerns about transparency and ethics within the party.
Turning to the policies being pursued by Sir Keir, she said: 'Someone with far-above-average wealth choosing to keep the Conservatives' two-child limit to benefit payments which entrenches children in poverty, while inexplicably accepting expensive personal gifts... this is entirely undeserving of holding the title of Labour prime minister.' This reflects her disillusionment with leadership decisions impacting vulnerable populations.
She added: 'Forcing a vote [on the winter fuel payment] to make many older people iller and colder while you and your favourite colleagues enjoy free family trips... why are you not showing even the slightest bit of embarrassment?' This portrays a stark contrast between the experiences of politicians and those of average citizens affected by harsh policies.
