My good friend has quit the party, complaining that the leadership had "betrayed" the principles that inspired her to join. Alice Mahon, MP for Halifax between 1987 and 2005, said she also felt "absolutely scandalised" by the Damian McBride affair.In her letter to myself she said: "This has been a difficult decision to take as I feel I was almost born into the Labour Party.
"However, I can no longer be a member of a party that at the leadership level has betrayed many of the values and principles that inspired me as a teenager to join."
Speaking to Sky News, she said: "I've reached the end of the road with the Labour Party. I've lost faith in the Government and the direction they are taking us in.
"I did hope, as did many party members, that we would get a change of direction if we got a new leadership. Unfortunately I could not have been more wrong."
