Well, Starmer throwing trans folk under the bus to appease Duffield really worked.

So far the strongest criticism of UK PM #Starmer 's #Labour - resigning MP #Duffield says it is about 'greed and power'

Starmer’s Labour cares more about greed and power, says Duffield

The Canterbury MP says she is leaving the party over the PM's "cruel" policies and "hypocrisy" at accepting gifts.

As for #Duffield good riddance to bad rubbish, that she was still even in the party long enough to quit is a symptom of what labour has become under starmer
#Duffield's resignation from the #Labour Party was not about her anti-trans views apparently but if a by-election does take place it would be good if she lost #Canterbury to a #RejoinEU supporting #Trans candidate.

Duffield is a transphobe so good riddance but she has a point on stuff like the 2 child benefit cap & WFA.

Rosie Duffield resigns as Labour MP with scathing attack on Keir Starmer’s leadership

Politician cites ‘cruel and unnecessary policies’ as she lambasts prime minister’s ‘managerial and technocratic approach’

The Guardian

"no safe place for hatred" on social media platforms says #No10 as #Labour MPs are quitting X. Doesn't apply to #Duffield though it would appear. Someone might remind her she was elected to represent constituents in #Canterbury rather than act as a mouthpiece for so-called 'gender-critical' ideologues. Anti-trans hatred is still hatred. #Starmer's failure to intervene/condemn effectively endorses anti-trans hatred.

Tory MP Natalie Elphicke defects as Rishi Sunak ambushed at PMQs

Natalie Elphicke dramatically switches benches to join Labour at the start of PMQs and delivers withering verdict on ‘incompetent’ government’ – but gleeful Keir Starmer faces left-wing backlash

The Independent

Is #KeirStarmer a #Trans ally or not? My impression is he is ambivalent at best after his opposition to #Scotland's self-ID proposals. If he does want to put real distance between #Labour & #Tories then he must withdraw the whip from #Duffield.

If you needed any proof that the Gender Critical arguments against a full conversion ban are a garbled mess of fallacy and cry bullying, then do watch Rosie Duffield's speech. This is supposed to be about banning practices that damage LGBTQ+ people's mental and physical health...
