Nope
Dugdale rejected the suggestion that she was resigning because she feared being forced out by Corbynites. Asked if she was going before she was pushed, Dugdale replied:
I refute that absolutely. What I’m trying to do is something that politicians rarely do, which is to leave with my head held high, without any sort of crisis.
She said that, although she spoke out against Jeremy Corbyn at the time of the 2016 leadership contest, she has not criticised him since. They got on well on a personal level, she said, and she said she she would be campaigning for him to be the next prime minister.
