I assume that the likes of Javid in these ultra safe seats have realised they have a fight on. They can't just drift to another victory, everything is marginal now. And as a non lunatic does he want to fight for the shit show that is the tories. Or does he want to go back to the private sector and a 6/7 figure salary. The non lunnies have gained the upper hand since the Truss debacle. But the wider position of the party is very much aligned to their BS agenda.
The timing here is intended to send a message. Disassociation from the electoral result and underlying cause. And giving up on turning it around.
The timing may be a dig at the party, but they were all asked a couple of weeks back which caused the recent announcements by others.
He won't struggle to get a banking job though, so it doesn't make too much difference - just allows him to be open about looking for a job rather than trying not to get spotted.
If it's not made public now, it would be pretty obvious when they start touting Bromsgrove to others.
I think it's separate, but I don't think the loonies/ERG have lost that much yet. They can still cause defeat on a vote by voting against it.
