As the country welcomes new representatives for their area, one MP was re-elected in Chorley - Sir Lindsay Hoyle. Not only does he represent Chorley, but the politician is also the Speaker of the House, a title he has held since the last election in 2019. Addressing the room, he said: "Firstly I would like to thank my constituents of Chorley for returning me to this House and allowing me to put myself forward again as Speaker. It is an honour to serve the people of Chorley, as I have done steadfastly for the last 44 years as a councillor on that local authority and then their Member of Parliament for the last 27 years.
“Needless to say in this role you need staying power. I’ve already been the speaker during the tenure of three prime ministers, two monarchs and one Jim Shannon.”
