Local MP Welcomes Theresa May As Our Next PM

    Keighley and Ilkley Conservative MP Kris Hopkins has praised the dignity displayed by Andrea Leadsom with her decision today to withdraw from the Conservative Party leadership contest.

    “I want to commend Andrea for her dignified comments in setting out why she believes it is in the United Kingdom’s best interests to have a new Prime Minister in place at the earliest opportunity.

     

    “I am proud to have been a member of Theresa May’s campaign team and know she will make an outstanding leader of our country.

     

    “Having worked with her over the last six years, I have seen the many qualities that she will bring as our second female Prime Minister.

     

    “We are in the midst of one of the most uncertain periods in our nation’s history following the decision to leave the European Union.

     

    “I have no doubt that Theresa is the right person at the right time to negotiate the best possible deal for the United Kingdom, and take on the many other challenges we face as a society.

     

    “I wish her every possible success.”
