Let’s all pray for Boris. He is an inspirational leader and a really decent friend. We need him.

Many won’t admit it but most MPs read comments on social media... Let me address something –

I’m running to be #Speakher because I’m the best qualified for the role & I’ve a plan to restore respect.

I also think it’s time we had another woman in the chair. #Eleanor4Speaker🙋🏼‍♀️ pic.twitter.com/b4lBGzMiyZ

I’m truly honoured and delighted to have been re-elected as #DeputySpeaker and as the first #woman Chairman of Ways & Means.

I look forward to working with Sir @LindsayHoyle_MP, Dame Rosie Winterton MP and @nigelmp to serve this @HouseofCommons.

Thank you.
