Julian Knight, who is suspended from the Conservative parliamentary party, said his constituency will be 'best served by an independent' in a future Labour government.
Former Tory MP Julian Knight has announced he will stand as an independent in the general election. The MP for Solihull was suspended from the Conservative parliamentary party in December 2022 after it emerged he was being investigated by police over a claim of serious sexual assault. Mr Knight has always maintained his innocence and on 2 April 2023, the Metropolitan Police dropped the investigation without questioning him.
'It's important that having been forced out of the party after an entirely false allegation, which is now being investigated by police for perversion of the course of justice, it's important to make a stand. People should not lose their position because of a false allegation.' Mr Knight previously said he would not seek re-election.
