Wallace, 53, has been a leading figure in Western allies’ support for Ukraine against Russia and was the UK’s pick to succeed Jens Stoltenberg as NATO secretary general.

“I’m not standing (as a member of parliament) next time,” he was quoted as telling the Sunday Times. The newspaper said Wallace told PM Rishi Sunak last month of his plans not to seek re-election at the general election, which has to be held by the end of next year.
