Former Labour MP and health minister Andrew Gwynne has confirmed he will stand down as an MP.
In a post on social media, Gwynne says he has applied to one of the archaic posts that will result in him leaving the Commons.
Come the May elections and the expected catastrophic results, we may be looking at a very different Labour Party 🥳
