Junior Minister Sion Simon is stepping down as an MP at the next election and
Jim Pickard has some thoughts as to why.
It’s curious that Simon, a loyal Brownite who was involved in the anti-Blair coup of 2006, would want to leave his seat, where he has a majority of 9,575.
he writes
After all, the last attempt to get a Birmingham mayor - the local newspaper ran a campaign to get a referendum only two years ago - ended in failure.
Which party has promised to have 10 elected mayors across the UK? Er, the Conservatives. Is Simon accidentally predicting a Tory victory?
