Michael Cashman loses the Labour whip after Rosie Duffield post

June 17th, 2024

Michael Cashman has lost the Labour whip following an X/Twitter post he made after it was announced that Rosie Duffield wasn't to take part in any local hustings, citing security and safety concerns.

Mr Cashman replied to a post made by Victoria Derbyshire. He posted "Frit. Or lazy".

Mr Cashman has made a short apology saying:

I apologise unreservedly for a post that I put out regarding the Labour candidate for Canterbury. I fully understand any complaints that will be sent to the Labour party.
