"“I think you are a good man fundamentally, who cares about the right things,” she wrote. “However I have seen first-hand how that is not enough.” “The desire not to have an argument means we rarely make an argument, leaving opportunities for progress stalled and delayed.”"
"“Labour governments come around rarely is the constant refrain at the moment. It's true they are precious.” “Every Labour government in my and my family's lifetime has forged progress that changed our country and the world for the better.” “I know you care deeply, but deeds, not words are what matter.”"
"“I'm not sure we are grasping this rare opportunity with the gusto that's needed and I cannot keep waiting around for a crisis to push for faster progress.”"
Jess Phillips resigned as safeguarding minister, delivering a politically damaging blow to Keir Starmer. Her resignation letter praised Starmer personally while claiming his leadership had become paralysed by caution and indecision. She said avoiding arguments prevents Labour from making necessary cases, stalling opportunities for progress. Phillips warned that Labour governments come around rarely and that the current administration was not grasping a rare opportunity with sufficient energy. She emphasized that deeds matter more than words and said she could not keep waiting for a crisis to drive faster progress. The departure is expected to be seen by Labour MPs as a significant internal intervention, given her influence on the party’s Left and among grassroots activists.
