We'll see how he progresses,  if he does.

Is Rosie Duffield the first MP to leave the Labour Party?

She has accused Starmer of hypocrisy accepting gifts worth tens of thousands of pounds while scrapping the winter fuel payment and keeping the two child cap.

I have to agree with her calling Starmer a hypocrite.

I think it's admirable that a boy from Tottenham who grew up in a single parent household should study at Harvard University, and become the Foreign Secretary. That shows grit and resilience, not qualities I'd associate with a prize idiot.

And as someone who studied at Harvard University, I would imagine that at least he understands how reliant UK trade in goods is on the Dover-Calais crossing, unlike a previous Foreign Secretary; who I'm sure isn't a total prize idiot.
