Angela Eagle looks set to launch a bid for the Labour leadership after Jeremy Corbyn rejected pleas to stand down.
The former shadow minister has been MP for Wallasey on Merseyside since 1992, but following her vote of no confidence in Corbyn and her shadow cabinet resignation, a petition has been launched by her constituents.
It states: "We wish Angela Eagle to resign as MP of Wallasey, as she does not represent our constituents views and our wishes. She should have supported Corbyn, not resigned. Keep Corbyn. Eagle Resign."
Paul Davis, vice chair of Eagle's constituency party shared his concerns about the wider leadership campaign, with Ritula Shah.
