Local MP Jesse Norman has declared that he will be supporting Theresa May in the leadership election for the Conservative party.

He said on his website www.jesse4hereford that the Conservative party requires strong, sensible leadership. which is why he is supporting Theresa May for leader and, of course, Prime Minister.

He said: “Theresa is a very experienced senior politician. She has been an MP since 1997, she held various key posts in opposition, and she has now served six years as Home Office, making her Britain’s longest-serving Home Secretary in half a century. In a notoriously difficult department of state, that is a mark of distinction.”

Mr Normas is concerned about the economic disruption caused by the Referendum vote which has also created a period of limbo.

He feels that both the country and Conservative party now require strong, sensible leadership which is why he has selected Theresa May as the candidate to back.
