LONG serving Home Secretary Teresa May has the backing of Tenbury MP Harriett Baldwin in her bid to become Prime Minister.
In offering her backing to the Home Secretary, Harriett Baldwin, whose West Worcestershire Constituency includes Tenbury, praised her record both as a minister and leader.
"Being Home Secretary is one of the toughest jobs in Government,” said Harriett Baldwin.
“She’s done it for longer than anyone, carefully supervised our security services and changed rules that have kept us safe at home.
“Teresa May brought in reforms to immigration from outside the EU, she's reformed the police and delivered more accountability to local people.
"Crime has fallen and she's succeeded in some tough international negotiations, like sending Abu Qatada back to Jordan.”
