What the new MP had to say

After being elected, Sarah addressed the room and said: “Thank you very much everyone, I won’t hold you because it is very, very early in the morning. But firstly, I’d like to just thank the returning officer, the police, my agent and staff running a very fair and free election.

“And thank you to the voters of South Northamptonshire for putting your trust in me. I must also thank my fellow candidates for having a fantastic campaign. My motto has always been to disagree agreeably and we definitely did do that during the whole process – so thank you all very much for that.

“It is an absolute honour and privilege to be able to represent South Northamptonshire and I look forward to the work ahead that we can to protect our beautiful constituency. Thank you.”
