One of the thickest and meanest MPs in the National Party, Anne Tolley, has seen the writing on the wall after dying in a ditch to back Simon Bridges.
Veteran National MP and former minister Anne Tolley has announced she’s retiring from Parliament this year, saying she wants to spend more time with her family.
She made the announcement of her retirement on Saturday morning. She will retire at the election.
Tolley has been the MP for the East Coast electorate since 2005, and was first elected as a National MP in 1999.

Good riddance. She backed the wrong horse and now her dreams of being Speaker have been dashed.
Anne Tolley had a low rat cunning that she thought was intelligence. She was only ever as good as her staff and when the best ones left, sick of her antics, her cachet went with them.
She won’t be missed.
Now all we need is the other half of the axis of evil, Paula Bennett, to quit. She’s barely attending parliament anyway.
