Her re-selection for June’s vote was confirmed by Portsmouth North Conservatives last night.

She said: ‘It is vital that we win this election.

‘We need a strong prime minister with a mandate to get the best deal with our European partners and secure all of the opportunities that the freedoms of Brexit will bring with the rest of the world.

‘If we do not return Theresa May as prime minister the alternative is a coalition of Jeremy Corbyn, Tim Farron and Nicola Sturgeon who do not have the best interests of our country and the people of Portsmouth in their hearts.

‘I have never taken my readoption for granted and have always worked hardest for my constituents.’
