BOB SEELY SUPPORTS LIZ TRUSS IN CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP CAMPAIGN

  • Tweet
Monday, 1 August, 2022

Bob Seely MP said: “I’ve been asked if I am supporting any other candidate now that Penny Mordaunt has gone out. Penny was a great candidate, and I was sorry to see her leave the contest.

“I will be voting for Liz Truss in the final two.

“There’s much to be proud of in the work that the Government has done in the past few years: such as the furlough scheme which saved millions of jobs during Covid and the vaccine roll-out.

“On the Island, we have got more than £100 million additional capital investment over the past few years: in St Mary’s hospital, in Island Line and more committed to the IW College. We’ve also had Government support for a new heavy lift vessel crane in East Cowes that will create new jobs and wider opportunities in shipbuilding on the Island.

“However, there’s more to do. We now need to grow the economy whilst dealing with inflation and the cost of living problems facing families. We need to help get more people back in work and focus on NHS waiting lists. Abroad, we need to be more proactive in dealing with threats to our freedom and way of life from rising authoritarian states such as Russia and China.

“I believe that Liz will be the candidate best able to deal with those issues.

“Regardless of whoever becomes leader, I will continue to help secure a better deal for the Isle of Wight.”
