The Wallasey MP - a government minister until last year - is among 15 backbench MPs who yesterday founded "New Wave" to persuade the Prime Minister to change direction.
The group's timing could not be better, coinciding with the publication of statistics from the prime minister's strategy unit, which reveal that the UK's healthy economic performance belies a picture of glaring poverty, social inequality, low investment in research and development and a collapse of trust in government.
