Labour shadow cabinet minister Jonathan Ashworth says MP Scott Benton should have resigned “much sooner” than he did. The Blackpool South MP lost the Conservative whip after being embroiled in a lobbying scandal. He has announced he will quit Parliament rather than wait for the outcome of a recall petition, paving the way for a by-election. Report by Jonesia.
