The Conservative's only remaining metro mayor said the leadership hopeful's remarks on Monday were 'completely wrong', and could lead his party into opposition 'for many, many years'.

Conservative Tees Valley Mayor Lord Houchen has hit out at Suella Braverman's 'cack-handed' comments around the Progress Pride flag, calling it 'cheap politics'. The former home secretary, who is heavily rumoured to be running for the Tory leadership, attacked the LGBT+ symbol during a speech at the National Conservatism conference in Washington DC on Monday.

Asked about the comments by Sky News, Lord Houchen - who is the party's last remaining metro mayor after May's local elections - said her remarks did not have 'any room within the Conservative leadership contest'.
