Top Labour MP resigns, decrying ‘greed and power’ of Starmer’s party  – POLITICO

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party is about “greed and power,” a top MP said Sunday after resigning over the leader’s austerity measures and a billowing scandal around his acceptance of expensive freebies from donors.

“It is so profoundly disappointing to me as a Labour voter and an activist … to see this is what we have become,” Rosie Duffield told the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg on Sunday, a day after she announced that she was quitting the party to sit as an independent.

Her move follows revelations that Starmer and top Cabinet officials had accepted hundreds of thousands of pounds’ worth of free gifts from donors.
