The Witham MP has tonight written to outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson to confirm she is stepping back from frontline politics. She described serving in the Cabinet as “the honour of my life” but said she wanted to “continue my public service to the country and the Witham constituency from the backbenches”.
It comes as the incoming Prime Minister is expectedly to radically shake up the Cabinet to give renewed vigour to the Government.
