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 should never have been allowed the privilege of resigning. Labour should have withdrawn the whip long ago.

It is lucky for Huw Edwards that he is only guilty of purchasing child pornography so he only gets 0 jail time. If he had done something really bad like plan a protest to try save the planet he would have got 4-5 years in jail.
