Ann Coffey is a former Labour Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Stockport since the 1992 General Election.

On 24 June 2016, Ann Coffey added to the chorus of Blairite Labour MPs who have said that Jeremy Corbyn must go in the wake of the EU Referendum, saying the public have "no confidence" in him. She also criticised his campaigning in the referendum, saying that it was "lacklustre, it was unenthusiastic" and that he came across as not caring about the result.

Ann Coffey has seconded a vote of no confidence in Mr Corbyn that tax-avoiding Labour MP Margaret Hodge proposed.

But Corbyn supporters should be ecstatic, because this opportunistic and ignorant move is an act of political suicide for the Blairites.
