   I remember canvassing my council ward in 2012 as a well regarded Liberal Democrat councillor. They phoned their neighbours so they could get their abuse ready.

   And after I lost my seat 2 years later, they all told me how much they liked me.

   I can’t imagine how much worse it must be for this guy.

   Still, I find it difficult to have sympathies for the people who stole our EU citizenship and declared war on trans people.

     @timothyreed It’s probably to save himself from a nervous breakdown.

     @goatsarah What’s the suspected motivation for standing down beyond no hope of reelection? If I read the article correctly, the PM is putting his allies in easy to win districts - is that’s what’s going to happen here?

     Thank you and apologies but I barely understand my own country’s politics.
