The battle for Birkenhead is well and truly on with two Wirral Labour MPs setting out their stalls in the hope of representing the expanded constituency.
Earlier this week, Wirral South MP Alison McGovern revealed that she would be putting her name forward for selection for the Birkenhead seat, with her own constituency set to be abolished ahead of the next General Election.
Boundary changes will see Wirral South split up into neighbouring constituencies and will reduce the number of Parliamentary representatives in Wirral from four to three.
