The vast majority of MPs calling it a day are Conservative Party members - more than at any point since the 1997 election which culminated in a Labour landslide.
Many Conservatives had reportedly been intending to stagger their resignations over the coming weeks and months ahead of an expected autumn election. But many are now expected to hand in their resignation letters to depart the Commons with the electorate coming to the polls in just six weeks.
Some of the most well know faces departing frontline politics include former Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman, the first female British Foreign Secretary Dame Margaret Beckett, and long-serving Green MP Caroline Lucas, and former Prime Minister Theresa May.
Here, LBC has completed a full list of MPs standing down ahead of the next General Election.
