Fenton retires

The Herald reports:

MP will leave at the next election.

The list MP announced today she would not seek re-election at the September election.

'm grateful for the opportunity to have served in Parliament as a Labour MP for nearly nine years,” she said.

I wish Darien well. She always stood up for her views, and is a very approachable MP.

The retirement makes sense. It helps Labour rejuvenate, and even in the unlikely chance of a Labour-led Government she was unlikely to be a Minister (not close to ).

brings the number of retirements to four – Ross , , Rajen Prasad and now Darien Fenton.
