MP of the month – Stella Creasy

For the first time this month we’ve restricted the LabourList MP of the Month contest to members of the PLP outside of the shadow cabinet, so there’s no win this month for the ever popular Andy Burnham.

Instead, this month’s winner – by a considerable margin – is Stella Creasy. Stella, one of the bright lights of the 2010 intake, has risen to prominence following her campaigning work on payday loans/legal loan sharks – bringing an issue that impacts upon millions of the poorest in society to the prominence it deserves.

More recently, Creasy has been pushing for the party to adopt “zero-budgetting” as a model for spending by a future Labour government.

Congratulations to Stella, and thanks to everyone who voted.
