she spoke about why she is endorsing sajid javid... very closely into very significantjobs in the treasury, and also in the home office. the overriding thing for me, when i look for a candidate to support, is integrity and honesty. someone who will tell the truth to the voters about the hard decisions that need to be taken to tackle the crises facing the country, but also about standards in public life. those are vital for us to repair the trust in our democracy. having taken the decision that sajid has those qualities, it was about who has the experience. this is not an apprenticeship, there is not time to learn on thejob. i looked at what was on offer, and out of all the candidates sajid javid was ahead of the rest, in terms of all experience, and i believe he can form a government and unite the party. you where they are when he resigned as chancellor very early on because he was unhappy with the idea of borisjohnson controlling his team in the treasury. he took a stand on principle, and then he went back in, and that still baffle so
