A second Midlands Labour MP has announced they will not contest their seat in the General Election.

Rob Marris, former shadow Treasury minister, has decided to stand down after 'much soul-searching'.

He has represented Wolverhampton South West for 11 years, first holding the seat from 2001 until 2010.

He was returned at the 2015 general election with a slim majority of 801, after the seat was held by the Conservatives, between 2010 and March 2015.
