North West MPs join the fight against coronavirus

As parliament is in recess until later this month, some North West MPs are doing their bit to help fight coronavirus.

The MP for Crewe, Kieran Mullan, wasted no time getting out of his suit and into his scrubs for shifts on A&E, while the MP for Pendle, Andrew Stephenson, went back to being an ambulance volunteer.

Elsewhere in Liverpool, the MP for West Derby Ian Byrne, continues to help food banks, as one of the original supporters of 'Fans Supporting Food Banks', and in South Lakeland, MP Tim Farron has set up a special phone advice surgery.
