Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown
Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has confirmed he is standing down as an MP at a meeting in his Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath constituency.
The 63-year-old told a Labour Party audience he intends to step down from Westminster at the General Election in May.
He will shift his focus to charity work and his role as a UN special envoy for global education.
"Even after a week of speculation Cheap Manchester City Jersey , it is a strange experience to read your obituary before you have retired," he said.
"Today I have my say, tomorrow the newspapers will have their say, and then history will have its say.
"I am in no doubt Cheap Liverpool Jersey , it is the right thing to do. A new person with new ideas, new vision, new insight, a new person to stand for this constituency Cheap Leicester City Jersey , representing the Labour Party at the next General Election.
"It is London I am leaving.
"For the avoidance of any doubt, I am not going back Westminster, not to the House of Commons after the General Election and not to the House of Lords.
"It is Fife, where our home is Cheap Juventus Jersey , where our children, John and Fraser are happily at school, where I will do the new and extended work as a United Nations' special envoy."
Mr Brown was first elected to Parliament in 1983.
He was Chancellor from 1997 to 2007 before taking over from Tony Blair as Prime Minister between 2007 and 2010.
"Gordon has given a huge amount in terms of public service and his contribution in government and Parliament," he said.
"I'm sure he'll go on contributing to public life even after he has left the House of Commons."
Mr Brown was credited with playing a significant role in saving the Union when Scotland voted on independence in September.
His late intervention, setting out a "vow" on greater powers for the Scottish parliament, was seen as a key factor in reducing the Yes vote.
But in his political obituary Cheap Borussia Dortmund Jersey , he will find the chapters on his tenure in Downing Street less flattering.
As Prime Minister he presided over the 2007-08 recession and the bailouts of the banks that cost the taxpayer billions of pounds.
