Julian Knight, a former Conservative MP suspended over sexual assault allegations, will run as an independent in the Solihull election, after being ousted by the party amid investigations subsequently dropped by police.
Knight expressed the importance of not letting false accusations tarnish one's reputation and shared his decision to stand again after discussions with family, Conservative party members, and constituents.
He emphasized campaigning on local issues and criticized having 'whips-appointed candidates' who may not fully understand the community's concerns, asserting the need for genuine representation.
