CANTERBURY MP Rosie Duffield has resigned from the Labour Party, criticising Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer – now labelled Free Gear Keir – for accepting thousands of pounds worth of personal items while at the same time removing Winter Fuel Payments from thousands of struggling pensioners.
Ms Duffield will now sit as an Independent MP.
Her scathingly critical letter is below:
In just two weeks leaders from almost every country on earth will gather in Glasgow for COP26 to negotiate how the world can come together to tackle the threat of climate change.
Alongside, the COP26 Green Zone will shine a light on the amazing and diverse world of climate action from 1st November.
From all over the globe, youth activists, Indigenous Peoples, small and large businesses and grass roots communities will be bringing COP26 to life with cultural performances, exhibitions, talks, film screenings and technical demonstrations.
Over 200 events will take place in the Green Zone over the 12 days of the summit. Hosted in the iconic Glasgow Science Centre, it will welcome visitors from 9am – 6pm each day.
Tickets are available free of charge, and most of the events will also be streamed live on the COP26 YouTube channel where people can access content for free and from anywhere in the UK or around the world.

A LEAD sponsor for a club in Scotland’s new top-tier domestic rugby division is helping pack the stands by offering 100 free tickets to the inaugural game.
Boroughmuir Bears’ shirt sponsor Commsworld is offering the tickets to the first 100 people to book tickets using the code COMMSWORLD through the Citizen Ticket platform.
The club is playing the first match of the FOSROC Super6 League season on Friday 8 November on home turf at the Meggetland Sports Complex against Stirling County, with kick off at 7:30pm.
Ricky Nicol, Chief Executive at Commsworld, said: “We’ve been proud supporters of Boroughmuir for the past four years – it’s a no brainer to celebrate the club’s progression into semi-professional standing with free tickets for their fans.
“This season is even more momentous as the club marks its 100th anniversary this year. It’s a proper well-deserved celebration, so I hope that we can help the club generate a special atmosphere.”
Commsworld announced last year it would continue to sponsor Boroughmuir for the next five years, investing in every team from the youngest through to the senior teams and providing funding for training kits and referee fees.
The Boroughmuir Bears is one of six teams selected as part of the semi-professional division which aims to bridge the gap between Pro14 sides and Scotland’s amateur clubs. The Super6 League is the first division of its kind and is set to become the new top tier of domestic rugby.
