Sir John Redwood announced on Friday that he will step down as a Conservative MP at the upcoming general election. The former Cabinet minister has represented Wokingham in Berkshire since 1987, becoming the 73rd Tory MP to bow out before the July 4 poll.
Rishi Sunak faces a record number of Tory departures, nearing the 75 MPs who quit before Sir Tony Blair’s landslide victory in 1997.
Sir John, a key figure in Margaret Thatcher’s policy unit and former Welsh secretary under John Major, was one of the 28 “Spartan” Tory MPs who voted against Theresa May’s Brexit deal three times in 2019. He has been a vocal backbench critic of Mr. Sunak, particularly on tax and net zero policy.
Speaking with Alex Phillips, the Tory veteran discusses his plans for the future and to save Britain from a 'green dystopia.'
