I'm in two minds about this. I agree with keeping to your promises and any new MP will have to learn the job so will be less effective for a while. But the job of an MP is very different from that of PM. And if you're heart's not in the role of MP, you could end up doing your constituents a disservice by preventing them from having a motivated MP who will fight for their constituents. I think this is an example of how Starmer was not great at making decisions.
One good thing which we can all agree on - at least he's not going to contest the seat after stepping down.
