Birkenhead MP Frank Field has been admitted to hospital after collapsing yesterday. Reports suggest that the veteran backbencher and former minister was taken to hospital for a check up after becoming unwell during a meeting.

A Labour spokesperson said that the 73 year old MP “is responding well to treatment.”
The best wishes of everyone at LabourList are with Field and his family.
