LEADING Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg arrived in the Shipley constituency yesterday morning to rally Conservative Party members to back Boris Johnson to be the next Prime Minister.

He was joined by Shipley MP Philip Davies and Tatton MP Esther McVey at the Cullingworth Conservative Club event, which saw more than 100 people hear why Mr Johnson would make the best Prime Minister.

At the event, Mr Rees Mogg said: “Boris believes in Brexit and members should keep that in mind when casting their vote for leader.”

And he heaped praise on hosting MP Mr Davies, saying he was “a man of his word”.

The event allowed party members to ask questions on why Mr Johnson was the best man for the job and issues ranged from a No Deal Brexit to criticism of HS2.

Mr Davies said: “I am supporting Boris as he has promised to deliver on the democratic vote of leaving the European Union on October 31.

"He will be a visionary leader and I believe, after we deliver Brexit, that he can unite the country and focus on a good domestic agenda.”
