    Some good news for a hard working Labour MP

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-50193046

    Incredible an MP should face deselection after being named Backbencher of the Year in 2018 by the Political Studies Association for her campaigning on the NHS contaminated blood scandal.

    New Labour be buggered .

    All MPs should face re-selection before an election campaign, regardless of majority and regardless of party.

    When they treat it as a career and job for life (provided the electorate don't vote against their party ticket) you end up with MPs who put self-interest and self-indulgence first. Plenty of them about.

    In this case she won easily which shows she has the confidence of her local party - so good on her.

    It shouldn't be newsworthy. It should be routine. What happens!
