The Edinburgh West MP, Christine Jardine, has announced that she will step away from politics at the next general election. Prime Minister Andy Burnham denied in an interview with STV this week that there will be an election anytime soon, confirming that the next general election will be in 2029. Despite that, Ms Jardine said that she feels it would be unfair to the local party that they could be in a situation where they don't have a candidate, if or when a snap election is called. Ms Jardine, who won the seat back from the SNP in 2017 and has a majority of 16,470, said that it had been a challenging few weeks and a difficult decision, but that she felt it was the best thing to do for the party.
