Boris Johnson did a 'brilliant' job in difficult circumstance, says Shrewsbury MP
Shrewsbury MP Daniel Kawczynski was one of the supporters outside Downing Street to listen to the outgoing PM's leaving speech and give him a round of applause.
Speaking as Boris Johnson left for Balmoral, Mr Kawczynski said it had been an emotional and difficult speech to listen to.
"I was very much opposed to the removal of the Prime Minister," he said.
"He had been doing a brilliant job under very difficult circumstances. But the majority of my parliamentary colleagues did not share my views and that's why the contest took place.
"I wish him the best for his future and I am sure we haven't seen the last of Boris Johnson."
Mr Kawczynski said he hoped the party would unite behind Liz Truss before the next election in two years.
