Hastings and Rye MP Amber Rudd defended after Labour '˜attack'
Hastings and Rye MP Amber Rudd's supporters said it was '˜disappointing' Labour chose to '˜attack' her locally following her appointment as Work and Pensions Secretary.
Ms Rudd, who resigned as Home Secretary in the wake of the Windrush scandal in April, was given the new role on Friday (November 16) after Esther McVey’s resignation last week.
In an open letter following Ms Rudd’s appointment, Labour parliamentary candidate Peter Chowney urged the Hastings and Rye MP to ‘sort out the mess’ of Universal Credit which he said has ‘disadvantaged many of her constituents’.
