Sir Alan Duncan, Conservative MP for Rutland and Melton since 1992, will not be defending his seat at December's general election.
He told the Leicester Mercury: "It’s time to put an end to the Muppet show."
I am puzzled by the way people use 'Muppet' as at term of abuse. Kermit and friends put together a variety show every week, often featuring an international star. That would certainly be beyond this Tory government.
Duncan may suggest he has had enough of parliament, but I suspect there is another explanation: the craving for Walker's crisps has become too much for him.
Duncan should be remembered for his brave move in coming out when it was still regarded as political suicide, the first Conservative MP to do so.
