Jo Johnson, Boris Johnson’s brother, has announced he will stand down in any upcoming election, while slyly implying his brother is not acting in the national interest.

It’s been an honour to represent Orpington for 9 years & to serve as a minister under three PMs. In recent weeks I’ve been torn between family loyalty and the national interest - it’s an unresolvable tension & time for others to take on my roles as MP & Minister. #overandout
