A member of the Conservative Party, she was Member of Parliament (MP) for Putney from 2005 to 2019.
Greening resigned as Education Secretary and Minister for Women and Equalities in the January 2018 Cabinet reshuffle. On 3 September 2019, she announced she would not be standing as an MP at the next general election. Later the same day, she was one of 21 Conservative MPs who had the whip withdrawn after voting against Boris Johnson's government over Brexit. She sat as an independent MP until Parliament was dissolved for the December 2019 general election.
