De Cordova gets Labour disability brief
Labour appointed Battersea MP Marsha de Cordova as its new shadow disabilities minister yesterday.
She replaces St Helens South and Whiston MP Marie Rimmer, who decided to step down from the role.
Ms de Cordova, who is registered blind, took the south-west London seat this year with a 10-point swing to Labour to boot out the Tory incumbent.
