It has been a privilege to serve as Co-Chairman of the Conservative Party alongside the brilliant Lord Johnson.
Thank you CCHQ team and the thousands of loyal activists I met fighting the Conservative cause right across the country (showcased in my CCHQ wall of campaign photos in the pic, below).
I've made many new friends and leave the Chairman's role with some amazing memories.
I know that Kevin Hollinrake will do a fantastic job as the new Chairman.
And I am also delighted to take over the shadow DCMS brief so ably championed by Stuart Andrew.
I am passionate about all DCMS sectors and am honoured to have been asked by Kemi to take on this new challenge.
