He has joined the dozens of MPs who will not be standing at the next election
Former Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi has announced he is joining the mass of MPs quitting at the next election. Mr Zahawi, who served in a number of senior Government jobs including vaccine minister, education minister and Tory chairman, announced his departure this morning in a letter paying tribute to his Stratford-upon-Avon constituents.
“Every morning as I shave my head in the mirror, I have to pinch myself. How is it that a boy from Baghdad who came to these shores, fleeing persecution and unable to speak a word of English, was able to do as much as I have? Mr Zahawi is the 65th Conservative MP jumping at the next election, the greatest number for at least 15 years.
