MP’S COMMENT Helen Grant MP Parliament has been a tempestuous place these past few weeks, but we will soon have a change of leadership and our country can then move onward, and upward. Now we know the names of the two candidates who are vying to be our next Prime Minister, party members can vote to choose either Rishi or Liz to pick up the keys to No 10 in September. I must say how heartened I was with the diverse list of eight candidates, each of whom obtained the support of 20 MPs to make it to the first ballot paper. Four men, four women, and half from ethnically diverse backgrounds. Whilst there have already been some unnecessary and disparaging remarks made between the candidate’s teams, I very much hope the contest does not descend into a toxic clamor over the summer. I would also hope that the eventual winner will embrace the talent amongst the other candidates by bringing them into his or her new cabinet, in contrast with the Johnson government which was largely made up of his own supporters. An unfortunate by-product of leadership contests is the damaging and divisive fall-out created by the rhetoric between contenders. Our country needs a united governing party to see us through the challenges we are facing and so, whoever is the victor, I will rally behind them, and I sincerely hope my colleagues will do likewise. Here in the constituency my team and I continue to manage a busy in-tray, helping people with their many issues and challenges. The cost-ofliving crisis fueled by the war in Ukraine, lack of components for manufacturing businesses created by the Covid lockdown, and problems with passport renewals are three repeating themes. Helping Ukrainian families relocate to Kent in pursuit of sanctuary also continues to keep us busy, but I am pleased to report that we are having a lot of success. I must applaud all of the local families who have opened their homes to refugees in the past three months; my office alone has helped settle 23 families so far. I hope you have an enjoyable summer and look forward to seeing you around and about in Maidstone and The Weald.
