An independent MP says she is not receiving a response from Health Secretary Yvette Cooper after Ms Cooper met with Made in Chelsea star Louise Thompson about birth-related trauma. The MP, Rosie Duffield, raised concerns publicly that her letters are not being answered.
Ms Duffield links the issue to comparisons she makes between who Ms Cooper meets and discusses concerns with. She argues that Ms Cooper’s attention appears to focus more on high-profile “celebrity” figures, contrasting her own status as a non-celebrity MP who, she says, is seeking engagement.
The reporting centers on Ms Duffield’s characterisation of the situation and what she presents as a pattern of communication, rather than on additional details about any formal process or official response from the Health Secretary. The outlets describe Ms Cooper’s meeting with Ms Thompson, and Ms Duffield’s reaction to that meeting, as the trigger for her comments about being snubbed.
