According to the Observer Greg Pope is to stand down at the next General Election.

According to the paper it has nothing to do with the events of recent weeks, but he feels now is the time to move on to other things.

Personally I feel very sad, as I feel he's been an excellent M.P. for Hyndburn for the past seventeen years, and in my own dealings with him he's been very approachable, very helpful, and professional.

I wish you all the very best for your future, and thank you for everything you've done for the area, and will continue to do until an election is called.

Your's will be very big boots for the local Labour party to fill, if not neigh on impossible.
