Labour MP Rosie Cooper said she will step down after a neo-Nazi assassination plot against her.
Cooper said her announcement will “come as a surprise to many people” as she recently won reselection to stand in her seat of West Lancashire for the next general election. She has held the seat since 2005.
The 72-year-old MP is stepping away from the House of Commons to become chair of Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust. She said her reselection as Labour candidate was prior to the recruitment process for the NHS trust. Cooper said: “It has been an incredible honour and privilege to have served the people of West Lancashire for the last 17 years. I have loved every minute, even the most difficult times.”
“The decision to apply for the role was taken after a considerable period of soul searching and reflection. The events I have faced over the last few years are well documented and undoubtedly have taken their toll.”
