Gorgeous, pouting Luciana has an eye for the main chance, still, better than no chance I suppose.

Luciana Berger, the shadow minister for mental health, has announced that she may seek her party’s nomination to stand as the powerful new mayor of Liverpool, becoming the latest prominent Labour MP to consider quitting Westminster to run one of Britain’s major cities.
The Liverpool Wavertree MP told the Liverpool Echo that she was seriously considering a run at the job of metro mayor, which will carry a package of new powers over housing, education and planning, once a devolution deal struck as part of George Osborne’s “northern powerhouse” project comes into force.
She said: “I’ve been flattered by people across the Liverpool city region approaching me in recent days, encouraging me to put my name forward as a candidate for the new position of metro mayor.
“This role – covering a new area including Halton, Knowsley, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral, as well as the city of Liverpool – is vitally important for the future success of the region.
“I will be consulting with family, friends and members of my constituency Labour party in the coming days, before reaching a decision on whether to put my hat in the ring.”
