FORMER health secretary Sajid Javid has announced he will not stand again as an MP at the next General Election.
Javid, MP for Bromsgrove, said his decision had been “accelerated” by the fact MPs have been asked to confirm their intentions for contending the next nationwide poll at an “early stage”.
He becomes the latest in a steady stream of Tory MPs to say they will step back at the next UK-wide election, which will be no later than January 2025, as the party struggles to recover from a slump in the polls.
