A constituency MP elected as leader of a county council has said he intends to “earn every penny” despite opposition MPs describing his new role as a “lucrative second job with potential conflicts of interest”.
Conservative Mansfield MP Ben Bradley said his new position as leader of Nottinghamshire County Council required a “similar level of time and commitment” to being a Government minister.

COPELAND MP Trudy Harrison has backed the Prime Minister in a row over comments he allegedly made during a meeting. Several media outlets have reported that Boris Johnson said he would let bodies pile high in their thousands rather than order another lockdown. However, Downing Street and the Prime Minister himself have strenuously denied the claims, which come amid a public war of words between the PM and his former top adviser, Dominic Cummings. Mrs Harrison, who is Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Prime Minister, stated she had never heard Mr Johnson make any statement of the sort. She said: The Prime Minister is saying he hasn t said it, and I have never heard him say it, or anything like that.

I was and am proud to call Cheryl Gillan a friend. I was so sad to learn this afternoon that she had died. She had been in poor health for some time and had been devastated by the death of her beloved husband Jack Leeming at the age of 91 in 2019. She was absolutely devoted to him and cared for him lovingly in his latter years. They were a real team. He might have been older than her but they were so well matched.
I first met Cheryl in the mid 1980s when she interviewed me to be a member of the Bow Group, back in the days when it was highly respected. They didn t accept any old rif-raff! Then after she was elected we met occasionally, but it was in 2005 that our friendship blossomed. She was on David Davis s Shadow Home Affairs team and a key supporter of his in the leadership contest. She was what one call a real trooper. There were a few big egos in that team and she would delight in puncturing them. She was happy to accept any task for the team no matter how
She was elected in the 2019 general election, as the first female British Ghanaian MP.
She was appointed to the official opposition frontbench in 2020, becoming the new Shadow Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury.
Oppong-Asare is of Ghanaian descent and studied Politics with International Relations at the University of Kent, where she also attained a master s degree in International Law with International Relations.
She is the chair of Labour Women s Network. From 2014 to 2018, she was a Labour Party Councillor for Erith ward on Bexley Council, serving as Deputy Leader of the opposition Labour Group from 2014 to 2016.
She has also previously served as a parliamentary assistant and constituency liaison officer and has advised the shadow minister for Preventing Violence Against Women and Girls, Seema Malhotra.
