LABOUR MP Nadia Whittome has claimed she was sacked from her temporary role as a carer during the coronavirus pandemic after speaking out about personal protective equipment (PPE) shortages.
The Nottingham East MP, who at 24 is the youngest in Parliament, revealed on Wednesday night that she had been "asked not to return" to work by charitable trust ExtraCare.
She had returned to her former role at Lark Hill retirement village, which is run by the trust, to help relieve strain on the care service.
