MP - Ann Cryer resigns

[Ric.ror]

If this country was run by a government of women like Ann Cryer we would be in a far better state than we are now. She will be greatly missed

[Gromit]

Just to clarify, she has not resigned, she is not fighting her seat at the next election.

She will remain an MP for the next couple of years. She would probably have lost it to the Tories anyway.

Well we certainly wouldn't be a nuclear state if the country were led by people like her

You may or may not think that a good thing depending on your perspective.

She is 69 - I think we do allow MPs to retire - good luck to her
