In a TV-exclusive interview on Q+A with Jack Tame, the Labour list MP says she often felt unwelcome in her own party.

What Louisa has demonstrated is that has not meant that she hasn't been able to achieve a significant amount. “I think there were messages, probably not so subtle, that it wasn't just she didn't want me in her cabinet. "There will be members of Parliament across their careers who would have hoped to have taken on different roles in their time.

Certainly Labour really doesn't need a negative focus on its internal machinations at the moment – especially when it is suddenly struggling in the polls.

The Prime Minister responded to claims by the outgoing MP that the party's leadership made her feel unwelcome.

There was also an understanding that Wall would leave during the Parliamentary term once a suitable role had come up. "I don't think that was a fair representation. Wall also revealed on Sunday she was still hurt and angry over the controversial electorate deselection in 2020. she's had a number of really significant bills, I'm proud to have supported all of them, they will leave a legacy.
