I have a great deal of respect for public service and 27 years is a long innings.
Politics can be ugly, so I am grateful to Tim for always being courteous and decent to me, including at Shoreham Farmers’ Market just this morning.
I wish him and Liza all the best for the future.
Last night I informed the AGM of the East Worthing & Shoreham Conservative Association that I would not be standing as the Conservative candidate at the next General Election. This is my letter to the Association Chairman.

Prospect of ending support bubbles unbelievably grim. Classic example of this govt's approach to lockdown where their lived experience is living in a big house with a garden with their family. Would be devastating for anyone living alone, and have minimal impact on case numbers.

1 in 100 people in the UK have coeliac disease. I'm one of them.
Unfortunately, just 36% are diagnosed - meaning there are 500,000 people in the UK living with it without knowing.
Poor understanding of the symptoms means it takes an average of 13 years to get diagnosed.
Today we launch our month long campaign to drive awareness of coeliac disease.
Did you know that an estimated 500,000 people in the UK are living with undiagnosed coeliac disease? That’s why this year, we’re doubling down on our mission to find those individuals and guide…

It's not a "bar" to high office - it's simply that support for same-sex marriage in the UK is incredibly broad, and Forbes' position is unpopular.
Kate Forbes argues that it would be a 'dangerous day' for politics in Scotland if being against gay marriage is a bar to high office, which is a bold argument
