Chris Green lost his seat in Bolton West at the general election
A former Tory MP in Greater Manchester has accused the last Conservative government of 'failing' to deliver for the North West.
Mr Green, who was first elected in 2015, was defending a record majority of nearly 9,000 in Bolton West but lost his seat to Labour. The bellwether constituency was one of nine that the Conservatives lost since 2019, leaving Greater Manchester with no Tory MPs. "If we are going to end this period of managed decline, we need real leadership. My former constituents want someone who will serve the British people, not their personal ambition. Who will lead with conviction and conservative principles and will act on them.
Welcoming the endorsement, Mr Tugendhat said: "It is an honour to have Chris Green endorsing me for leader of the Conservative Party.
