Twitter praises Stella Creasy after Labour MP cradles two-week-old baby during Sky News interview

Labour and Co-op candidate Stella Creasy has been praised online after the politician appeared live on Sky News cradling her two-week-old baby in a sling.

Ms Creasy, 42, who has just secured her Walthamstow seat by a landslide, was speaking to news anchor Dermot Murnaghan, as she discussed the results of the 2019 election as they unfolded.

Stella and her partner Dan Fox welcomed their baby a fortnight ago, after announcing she was pregnant in June this year.

Since her live interview during the election coverage, Twitter users have shared messages of support for the MP.

One user wrote: "Trying to look for something positive on what has been a very bleak night. Great to see Stella Creasy being interviewed with her two-week-old baby, having been re-elected as an MP."

Another added: "Stella Creasy is a queen. Two week old baby and still a rock solid legend."

A third commented: "Watching Stella Creasy being interviewed wearing her two-week old daughter. What a mother."

"Stella Creasy's baby is the most wholesome thing I'm going to see this evening."
