Former Justice Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab will stand down as an MP at the next general election, Sky News understands.

It comes a month after he quit Rishi Sunak's cabinet over claims he bullied civil servants.

Mr Raab has been the Conservative MP for Esher and Walton in Surrey since 2010.

Well Raab did learn something….to our cost….he discovered the importance of Dover to our economy, and of course he has his blue passport, and others no doubt, so he won’t have to flee the U.K. in a rubber dinghy.
