Default Labour MP Rosie Cooper to stand down and trigger byelection

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.]
