I would like to congratulate Liz Truss on becoming our leader and the new Prime Minister.
She has an inbox that is perhaps more challenging than any leader of our country has faced for several generations, but I believe she has the experience and leadership qualities to deliver.
Over the coming days and weeks, the new PM will set out her policies to tackle the challenges we face on the economy, the cost-of-living crisis, energy security, the war in Ukraine and the NHS backlog.
She has my full support in delivering on them for the people, the farmers and businesses of Hertford and Stortford who have told me clearly these last few months they are worried about the future and they want action on energy prices and supporting livelihoods in the months to come.
