I AM a past chairman of the York Conservative Party but I believe it would be churlish not to accept and recognise that Rachael Maskell has been a good, hard working MP for the city.

The problem is that in this General Election the country is facing a very difficult and potentially dangerous time.

It is essential therefore that we get a strong Parliament with an outstanding prime minister.

The position in York is that a vote for Rachael is in reality a vote for Jeremy Corbyn to be the prime minister of this great country.

God help us.
