She is still to give a date.


[The Labour MP Rosie Cooper
is expected to stand down and trigger
a byelection in her
West Lancashire constituency this
autumn, after taking on a
new role with the NHS.

Cooper, who was targeted as part
of a murder plot by members
of a banned neo-Nazi group,
said she had undergone a
“considerable period of soul-searching”
and admitted the events had “taken their toll”.

She said it had been
“an incredible honour and privilege” to
serve in the Commons since 2005,
and acknowledged her departure
would “come as a surprise to
many people” given she had recently
been reselected to stand at
the next general election.]

a nutter was seriously planning to murder her, i can't imagine the mental stress that would put on someone and I completely understand her wanting to disappear from the public eye

Yes it is a bad case of a nutter
destroying her life.

She has had an alarming time of things so it's no surprise she has made this decision.

It is really worrying what MPs are having to bear at present.
It's not just at MPs of one party, there are those in all Parties having to deal with worrying and scary stuff.
