This year there are some MP changes on the Birkenhead area of the Merseyside group and also connected to the Cheshire arrangement in preparation for the voting on the 4th July setting. It is interesting to observe what is taking place. One of the reasons that I am very interested to this is because I was born in Crosby which is near to Birkenhead and although I am in Brighton I regularly go back to Liverpool and I am also very aware of the case for the Liverpool area.

Two of the people who have been the Labour MPs in Birkenhead for many years are Angela Eagle and Alison McGovern. Angela is on the Wallasey MP which she began on 1992 when she was able to reduce the previous Conservative MP setting and she has been the MP for the last 32 years and she is taking on this arrangement aspect. Alison became the MP for Wirral South on 2010 when she was taking on a previous Labour MP before she moved but she is now taking on for the Birkenhead group following for the removal of the Wirral South group. Angela and Alison have been significant people for Labour for a number of years on Parliament.

The Wirral South has been closed and some aspects of it have gone onto Birkenhead which Alison will obtain this year and the other location is for Wirral West which was run by Margaret Greenwood who has the Labour MP from 2015 until to this year but the current person is Matthew Patrick who is hoping to won, but there was Conservative person Esther McVey who was the MP from 2010 to 2015. It will be interested to see what happens on July and the current Conservative person is Jenny Johnson.

The Wirral South was transferred to Wirral West and Birkenhead which are in Merseyside and the other aspect is for the new Ellesmere Port and Bromborough area which is at the end of the Cheshire area and that group was previously called Ellesmere Port and Neston. It will be interesting to see how the results on those groups in Merseyside and Cheshire.
