The Conservative leader of Lancashire County Council says that the authority stands ready to work with the new government teams being assembled in Whitehall – but declined to comment on the collapse of Boris Johnson’s administration.

Phillippa Williamson said that County Hall would not be “expressing a view” on one of the most extraordinary 48-hour periods in British political history, which finally culminated in the Prime Minister resigning as leader of the Conservative Party on Thursday morning.

The DLUHC also lost its Secretary of State, Michael Gove, on Wednesday evening after he became the only member of the cabinet to be sacked by the embattled PM, in contrast to five others who have this week quit. Responding to events within the national Tory party, County Cllr Williamson said: “This Conservative administration is relentlessly focused on delivering our priorities and ensuring better outcomes for the people of Lancashire. We will continue to work hard and will be ready for conversations with central government as and when the new teams are in place – [which] we are happy to see is happening at pace.
