Joan Ryan was quite unpopular in her constituency anyway after she was the highest-claiming London MP in the expenses scandal.
She lost out to a Tory in 2010 and a lot of constituents were disappointed when she was selected again to run in 2015. She benefited from the Labour surge in 2017 despite (or because of?) telling people to vote for her, not for the Labour leadership.
In other words, no big loss.
