The Tory Reform Group today congratulated Boris Johnson on being elected Conservative Party Leader.
A spokesman for the group said:
“Congratulations to Boris Johnson on his election as Conservative Party leader. As our next Prime Minister, at a crucial time for the country, Boris has an immense task ahead of him but there are many wishing him on.
“The Conservatives are strongest, and electorally successful, when we are a broad church and any government must reflect that. Boris’ Cabinet must draw on the breadth of talent from across the green benches – focussing on the values that unite us as Conservatives – to reconnect with voters and take our country forward.
“Much has been spoken of the One Nation tradition throughout this leadership contest and Boris himself pledged to the Tory Reform Group that he will deliver a modern, compassionate conservatism as Prime Minister. In the coming days we look forward to Boris building his team in that image and stand ready to work with him to fulfil his commitment.”
