THERE is a challenge in writing a newspaper column like this a few days before it is due to appear; everything seems to be changing at such a rate that almost anything I write could be overtaken by events by the time you read this.

After ten and a half years as leader of the Conservative Party, and six as Prime Minister, David Cameron will have faced his last ever Prime Minister’s Questions.

He had been clear before last year’s General Election that he would stand down before the next election and so we knew that there would be a change of Prime Minister at some point, but most of us had expected it to be a bit later on.

On the other side, Jeremy Corbyn remains as Leader of the Opposition despite 80 per cent of Labour MPs voting to say that they had no confidence in his leadership.

He will face a formal leadership challenge, with at least two former Shadow Ministers standing against him.

Outside of Parliament, Nigel Farage has resigned as Leader of Ukip for the second time in just over a year, having led his party to third place in terms of votes cast at last year’s General Election.

Whether the saying “May you live in interesting times” is a blessing or a curse, nobody could accuse our current politics of being dull.

We now know that Theresa May will be Prime Minister by the time you read this.

I supported Stephen Crabb in the first round of the Conservative leadership contest, but switched to backing Theresa after Stephen withdrew.

Amidst all of the change and uncertainty in our politics and economic markets, Theresa’s strong proven leadership will restore some stability and confidence. As the longest-serving Home Secretary for 200 years, she certainly has the experience to do the job.

I understand why some people in Dudley South are concerned about what that means for our decision to leave the EU.

Theresa campaigned to stay in the EU, whilst I campaigned to leave, but the new Prime Minister will follow through with the decision voters took last month.

All Conservative MPs were elected on a clear commitment to hold a referendum – and then to implement the result. That’s exactly what we will do.

Speaking to Labour MPs who campaigned to stay in the EU, most recognise that you cannot give people a choice in a referendum and then try to overturn the result in Parliament.

On a practical level, with a majority of just 10 in the House of Commons, the new Prime Minister knows that her government would fall if it tried to pull back from “Brexit”. Britain is leaving the EU.
