The Tory MP has announced today that he is quitting as a Member of a Parliament.
The 45-year-old former Chancellor has recently been backlashed for taking other highly paid jobs including the editorship of a news publication while still being an MP. Speaking after announcing his intention to quit, he gave the reasons for his decision in a letter to Conservatives in his Tatton constituency.
“At the age of 45, I don’t want to spend the rest of my life just being an ex-Chancellor. I want new challenges,” He went on further to say, “I will go on fighting for that Britain I love from the editor’s chair of a great newspaper. It’s still too early to be writing my memoirs.”
