Conservative MP David Ruffley to step down following domestic violence revelations
‘A Conservative MP who received a police caution for assaulting his ex-partner today announced he will step down at the next election.
David Ruffley, the former shadow police minister, blamed his decision on the “unrelenting orchestrated intrusion into my private life”.
Mr Ruffley had been summoned to a meeting of his local party in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, on Thursday to discuss the incident.’
