Labour MP Tristram Hunt resigns to become a director of art useum
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.
