A number of Conservative MPs have decided that they do not want to stand at the next General Election. Amongst them are significant backbenchers like William Wragg, up-and-coming junior minister Dehenna Davison and former Cabinet minister Chloe Smith. The most significant MP not running again, however, is former Chancellor Sajid Javid. News of his decision broke as "House of Comments" was recording.

Hosts Charlotte Henry and Emma Burnell analyse what this all means for the Conservatives. They also discuss Ian Blackford stepping down as leader of the SNP in Westminster and the by-election in City of Chester.
