Julie Kirkbride Falls on Sword

A leading Conservative backbencher has announced her intention to leave Westminster at the next General Election.

Julie Kirkbride, MP for Bromsgrove in Worcestershire, made her decision after the Daily Telegraph published career-ruining details about her flamboyant Parliamentary expenses. She was under immense pressure to quit after 5,000 Bromsgrove constituents and 80% of ConservativeHome readers called on her to stand down.

Further details of Miss Kirkbride's misdemeanours can by found in a post I wrote earlier today. She's obviously an avid reader.

A shrewd decision.
