They were joined by Conservative Party activists in Fordham, speaking to residents about Frazer's local plans, including the upgrading of the A10 and the Conservatives’ national plan to cut taxes for residents in Ely and East Cambridgeshire and across the country.

Ms Murty said: "It was great to visit Lucy in Ely and East Cambridgeshire, along with Lucia and Susie.

"Lucy has dedicated almost a decade to serving this community and I know she’s determined to keep delivering for the people of Ely and East Cambridgeshire, so it was a pleasure to show our support for a brilliant candidate."

Frazer, Conservative parliamentary candidate for Ely and East Cambridgeshire, added: “It was such an honour to have the support of Akshata, Lucia and Susie today who are all amazing women.

“I have seen first hand the work that Akshata has done in No 10 supporting young people. I was thrilled that the three of them came to Ely and East Cambridgeshire to knock on doors and meet our local activists.

“The Conservatives have a great track record of delivery here - whether that’s the Ely bypass, the station in Soham or the expanded services at the Princess of Wales Hospital and it was good to discuss all these issues on the door steps today.”
