In his letter of resignation, Copeland MP Jamie Reed says leaving Parliament is the hardest decision of his life.

He thanked everyone who has supported and advised him, and marked his achievements at the West Cumberland Hospital as his proudest achievements.

"I'm proud of what i've achieved over the past 12 years with the help and support of the Copeland community and the last Labour Government.

"Together we built schools, town centre developments, university facilities, dental surgeries, and a new West Cumberland Hospital of which i'm most proud. This is the hospital where my four children were born and which saved my life in 2010 when admitted to intensive care as a result of undiagnosed Type 1 Diabetes.

"I love my community and i love the Labour Party. Leaving Parliament is the hardest decision of my life. "
