Labour MPs leaving

The Herald reports Georgina Beyer will be resigning in the new year. I heard yesterday also that Dover Samuels was having farewell drinks so I suspect his resignation is also in hand. This is unconfirmed though and may have been misinterpreted.

New Labour List MPs will be Lesley Soper and then Louisa Wall.

Beyer is considering standing for the Wellington Mayoralty which would be interesting.
