He is a graduate of the University of Leeds and a current Leeds City Councillor for the Middleton Park ward. On 8 July 2009, Truswell announced he would not stand again at the next general election. In a statement, he said "We all have to deal with life"s many problems, but my recent traumatic car crash.. has come on top of a period when I have found it increasingly difficult to undertake my heavy workload as an Member of Parliament and to cope with a succession of family and personal issues, including illness, bereavement, and caring responsibilities.
I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that I do not, at this time, have the physical and mental stamina to fulfil both of the hugely demanding roles of Member of Parliament and parliamentary candidate in the run-up to the next general election.".
