Many Congratulations to both Andrea and Theresa.

For the second time in history the conservatives will have a female prime minster, proving that we are the not just the greatest but the most progressive party in Britain.

I want to offer particular congratulations to Andrea Leadsom on her stunning achievement.

She is now well placed to win and replace the absurd gloom in some quarters with a positive confident and optimistic approach, not just to Europe, but to government all round.
