Since the Prime Minister resigned, I have been carefully considering the best route forwards for our country and speaking to colleagues about who should be our next Prime Minister. I have been looking for a candidate who can deliver for residents in Hitchin & Harpenden – tackling the cost of living, strengthening the economy, and delivering on plans to protect our environment.
Most crucially, it is vitally important that the next leader is able to rebuild the public’s trust – not just in the Conservative Party, but in Government as well. People should be able to be confident that the Government represents the very best that Britain has to offer and acts with honesty, integrity and leadership.
This weekend I endorsed Rishi Sunak, the former Chancellor, to become this country's next Prime Minister. You can read my full reasoning in the Telegraph here.
