Mr Stewart's former cabinet colleague, Amber Rudd, who resigned the whip in solidarity with the sacked Conservative MPs, tweeted:"What a loss to politics. An outstanding MP & Minister. One of the strongest speakers in Parliament. Principled, patient, thoughtful. I feel certain he'll be back."
Robert Craig, president of the Penrith and The Border Conservative Association, said Mr Stewart would"possibly" not have made the decision if he still had the whip. While noting there was some support for him within the local party he wrote:"But it should be no secret that there are also local party members who would rather I did not run again.
Mr Stewart added:"As for the future - I am a public servant to my core and will stay involved in politics, endeavouring to make my voice heard.
