Tristram Hunt once had hopes of becoming the leader of the Labour Party but after seven 'frustrating' years as an MP is quitting politics.

Elected in 2010, the Stoke-on-Trent Central MP enjoyed a rapid rise, becoming a shadow minister within three years and a member of Labour’s top team six months later.

A respected historian, he was a regular on television screens before entering parliament, presenting programmes on Elgar And Empire, Isaac Newton and the English Civil War.
