Black Country Political Reporter, BBC WMI wonder who is looking after baby Theo tonight?
Labour's Emma Reynolds had planned to be on maternity leave, external, when just days after she gave birth to baby Theo, the prime minister called the snap election.
Image source, Emma ReynoldsA prominent critic of Jeremy Corbyn, she’s found herself treading a tightrope between voters who say they can’t vote Labour because of the leader and those annoyed at her attitude towards him.
A few weeks ago Labour were worried that a 5,495 majority was slipping away, but now seem confident that that they’ve shored up their vote against the challenge from Conservative Sarah Macken.
Like the rest of the Black County, there was a strong leave vote in Wolverhampton.
In 2015 the UKIP vote matched the size of Labour’s majority. Could those voters hold the key?

Shrewsbury and Atcham: 'Care for the elderly should be a priority'published at 01:22 British Summer Time 9 June 2017
Before the election, we went out and about asking people what would make them vote.
Catherine Moore, 68, from Shrewsbury is retired.
She was a primary school teacher for 30 years and later worked as a civil servant at the Child Support Agency.
She said affordable care for the elderly was important to her and that the older she gets, the more she thinks about her own care and how it will be financed.
She said the future of local hospitals was also a big concern.
"There's friction between Shrewsbury and Telford and what's going to happen to various departments," she said.
"What sort of options will I have? I haven't got any immediate family and with all of us anything could happen at any time - you never know when you might need it."
