The Fylde MP has thrown his weight behind new Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak.

Sunak was confirmed as the new Leader of the Conservative Party this week, after he was declared as the only candidate to officially gather enough support of his fellow MPs.

Mark Menzies said: ‘’I have supported Rishi in this leadership contest, as I did in the previous election. I know he has an enormous amount to offer our country.

‘’Rishi and I have a shared vision, to deliver economic stability, to support families and businesses during these difficult times and to drive investment in our local communities, building on the Government's pledge to levelling up across the country. Having guided us through the economic challenges of the pandemic he is uniquely placed to lead us through the challenges which lie ahead.

‘’The priority now is stability. We must be ready to put aside our differences and unite behind the Prime Minister.

‘’ I look forward to working with Rishi, as I have in recent years, in the coming months to address the issues important to people in Fylde, whether that be rising energy bills, supporting high tech manufacturing and our nuclear industry or delivering transport infrastructure investment.’’
