JK Rowling Defends Rosie Duffield in Fiery Exchange with Labour MP Nadia Whittome JK Rowling has engaged in a public clash with Labour MP Nadia Whittome following Rosie Duffield's dramatic resignation from the Labour Party. Duffield resigned with immediate effect, criticizing Prime Minister Keir Starmer for his policies and alleged hypocrisy in a scathing letter. Rowling, a known supporter of Duffield, defended her on social media against Whittome's criticisms, emphasizing Duffield's stand on women's rights. This incident highlights ongoing tensions within Labour over issues of gender and policy. #JKRowling #RosieDuffield #LabourSplit #NadiaWhittome #KeirStarmer #GenderDebate #WomensRights #PoliticalDrama #ResignationRow #UKPolitics JK Rowling clashes with Labour MP as Duffield's damning resignation batters Starmer - 'Keep her name out your mouth!' (gbnews com) Canterbury MP Rosie Duffield today resigned the Labour Party whip with 'immediate effect' JK Rowling has clashed with Labour MP Nadia Whittome over Rosie Duffield's decision to resign the Labour whip with "immediate effect". Duffield, 53, penned a blistering resignation letter to Sir Keir Starmer, accusing the Prime Minister of being embroiled in a "sleaze" scandal and enacting "cruel policies". Rowling, a longstanding ally of Duffield and fellow women's rights activist, took to social media to blast Whittome after the Nottingham East MP criticised Duffield. Whittome, who differs with Duffield on issues of gender, said: "No matter your views on her stated reasons for quitting, Rosie Duffield has made a political career out of dehumanising one of the most marginalised groups in society. She added: "She should never have been allowed the privilege of resigning. Labour should have withdrawn the whip long ago." Weighing in on the row, Rowling wrote: "Rosie Duffield was one of the few female Labour politicians with the guts to stand up for vulnerable women and girls, while self-satisfied numbskulls like you fought to give away their rights and spaces. TL;DR Keep her name out of your mouth." The Harry Potter author, who once donated £1million to the Labour Party, refused to vote for Starmer on July 4 and instead supported an independent candidate. Duffield, who in April told GB News that Rishi Sunak was "nicer" to her than the now-Prime Minister, was long expected to quit Labour. Taking aim at the Prime Minister over his decision to retain the two-child benefit cap and axe Winter Fuel Payments, Duffield wrote: “Someone with far-above-average wealth choosing to keep the Conservatives’ two-child limit to benefit payments which entrenches children in poverty, while inexplicably accepting expensive personal gifts of designer suits and glasses costing more than most of these people can grasp — this is entirely undeserving of holding the title of Labour Prime Minister.” She added: “Forcing a vote [on the Winter Fuel Payment] to make many older people iller and colder while you and your favourite colleagues enjoy free family trips to events most people would have to save hard for — why are you not showing even the slightest bit of embarrassment?” Attacking Starmer for so-called hypocrisy, Duffield later wrote: “Since the change of Government in July, the revelations of hypocrisy have been staggering and increasingly outrageous. "I cannot put into words how angry I and my colleagues are at your total lack of understanding about how you have made us all appear. “How dare you take our longed-for victory, the electorate’s sacred and precious trust, and throw it back in their individual faces and the faces of dedicated and hardworking Labour MPs?” Duffield appeared to hint disaffection from former Labour colleagues looms for Starmer, claiming “household names” are "really angry and really frustrated". She added: “I don’t know if anyone else will leave. I think most people feel they have got to stay and fight inside the party and I did that to the best of my ability for as long as I could … but this is the end of the road for me for now.” The ex-Labour MP, who retained her seat at the third-time of asking with a majority of 8,653, denied her decision to sit as an independent had anything to do with her ongoing gender row. She told The Sunday Times: “With my [gender critical] views, all I wanted was for those views to be taken seriously and discussed and I think as a movement the Labour Party has shifted and we are talking about those things now. “I and others put it on the agenda by basically being very loud about women’s rights and I am glad it is now a mainstream discussion, but that’s not why I am leaving the Labour Party. The Labour Party has left me.”

Must be a #LabourSplit between Shadow Chancellor @RachelReevesMP and Lisa Nandy. These MPs are totally clueless and only preaching to the converted.

Starmer comes on stage to chants of “oh Jeremy Corbyn” 😳 This conference really hasn’t gone well for him. #Lab21 #LabourSplit

Presumably the ones 'urging Keir Starmer not to let Corbyn back into parliamentary party' are not the same ones who have just readmitted him after his token banishment ??? #LabourSplit bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-5…

Just give it up trying to placate McCarthyite witch hunters, they can never be placated, the socialist MPs should split, form a new party and most importantly get the unions to back you. #LabourSplit

There is a reason why the Tories have been more successful over the years. They follow one economic principle, capitalism. Labour swing from centre-right to left depending on which faction controls the party. This constant switching makes the party ineffective. #LabourSplit

Remainers blame Corbynistas for losing Labour middle-class pro-Remain vote by not being an all-Remain party. Corbynistas blame Remainers for losing Labour working-class pro-Leave vote by wanting to be an all-Remain party. Excellent. Should hasten the long-overdue #LabourSplit.
IF polls are to be believed, Labour members will face a choice between Keir Starmer and Rebecca Long-Bailey in the final round of the leadership contests One is the poster boy for Remain, the other the poster girl for Corbynism.

I think #LabourSplit is sorely needed, then a concerted PV campaign. I can’t bring myself to vote for the shits in the PLP, still too many of them.

What page of Labour history is Abbott on? Diane Abbott really doesn't seem to be on the same planet as everyone else, let alone the same page. #LabourAntisemitism #LabourSplit #TomWatson

Labour wanted to dominate the news headlines during its conference. Well it has managed that today. Just goes to prove that all news is not good news. #LabourSplit

So Tom Watson’s position has to go because they don’t want him “acting” PM while they choose Jeremy’s replacement. #LabourConference2019 #LabourSplit
Ok folks, hold onto your hats. Just received this text from a Labour MP. They think the Labour Party is about to split.
