The Teesside mayor and a local MP from our area have announced that they will be supporting Boris Johnson in the forthcoming leadership campaign for Prime Minister.
In a joint statement issued yesterday, Teesside Mayor Ben Houchen and Simon Clarke, MP for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland, said that "Boris is the person we need to lead our country and our party."
They said that "He won the greatest election victory for years on a mandate to unite and level up the UK, and inspired millions of people who had never voted Conservative before to get behind a generous, optimistic vision of what Britain can be."
They also said that "People on Teesside love Boris because he recognised that while talent is evenly distributed across the country, opportunity is not."
