Member for West Lancashire, a strong Labour seat, is taking new role with NHS
The Labour MP Rosie Cooper is expected to stand down and trigger a byelection in her West Lancashire constituency, after taking on a new role with the NHS.
Cooper said it had been “an incredible honour and privilege” to have served in the Commons since 2005, and admitted her departure would “come as a surprise to many people” given she had recently been reselected to stand at the next general election.
