[He quit Labour's group in Parliament in 2018,
saying Jeremy Corbyn's leadership had
become "a force for antisemitism in British politics".

He stood as an independent candidate
in Birkenhead at the 2019 general election,
finishing second with 17% of the vote.

He was made a non-affiliated, crossbench
peer by the Conservative government in
2020, after campaigning in favour of Brexit.

The veteran politician was made a member
of the Order of the Companions of Honour in 2021,
describing it at the time as a "terrific privilege".]
