Member for Barking since 1994 also chaired the public accounts committee and criticised ex-leader over antisemitism in the party
Margaret Hodge, the veteran Labour MP and former chair of the public accounts committee, has announced she will not stand again for parliament at the next election.
Following a career in the Commons that spanned 27 years, Hodge told local party members in her east London seat of Barking she had made the “tough decision” not to contest the constituency again.
