Liz Blackman, Lab, Erewash.

It's pronounced "erry-wash".

She's a junior whip, apparently.

Erewash is the constituency where Robert 'Clown Prince of Orange' Kilroy-Silk stood at the last general election. There were fears that he would take most of his votes from Labour (not sure why) and the Tories would take the seat back, as it used to be quite a safe Tory seat at one point.

In the event Kilroy only just managed to hold his deposit and took marginally more votes from the Tories, allowing Blackman to increase her majority by an extra 100 votes or so.
