I think she is a rising star, and definitely one to watch for in the future
Agreed. She did a fine job holding onto Wirral South after the Ben Chapman fiasco. But that is also Alison McGovern's 'Achilles heel'. Wirral South is far from being natural Labour Party territory. After boundary changes to be shoved through by the Tories, you can bet by the next election it will be even harder to hold. Anyway, good luck to her.
