Good luck Jane in whatever you do and thanks for...

Observer says..“ Sad to see Jane K go. She is a very hardworking MP and more people like her are needed in Parliament. She took a very brave stance against the Militants in the 1980s and that projected her into mainstream politics. More decent MPs like Jane K will quit because they have had a belly full of a lousy political community, where politicians are hated by the public and treated...

Wavertree's Labour MP, Jane Kennedy, gave an exclusive to David Bartlett today. She announced she would not be standing again at the General Election.
