These are the five new Conservative MPs in Greater Manchester
While Boris Johnson swept to power with a huge mandate in Thursday's general election, his win meant that Greater Manchester gained five new Conservative MPs. But who are they? We take a look at the new Members of Parliament in Bury North, Bury South, Heywood and Middleton, Bolton North East and Leigh. Bury North: James Daly MP James Daly had campaigned in Bury North to protect the greenbelt, invest in local schools and ensure that the NHS and social care services are properly funded. The leader of Bury Conservatives since February 2017 had previously stood as the Parliamentary candidate for Bolton North East in the 2017 general election and in the Oldham West and Royton by-election in 2016. Up until his election, he was a councillor for the North Manor ward. Born in Huddersfield, h...

While Boris Johnson swept to power with a huge mandate in Thursday's general election, his win meant that Greater Manchester gained five new Conservative MPs. But who are they? We take a look at the new Members of Parliament in Bury North, Bury South, Heywood and Middleton, Bolton North East and Leigh. Bury North: James Daly MP James Daly had campaigned in Bury North to protect the greenbelt, invest in local schools and ensure that the NHS and social care services are properly funded. The leader of Bury Conservatives since February 2017 had previously stood as the Parliamentary candidate for Bolton North East in the 2017 general election and in the Oldham West and Royton by-election in 2016. Up until his election, he was a councillor for the North Manor ward. Born in Huddersfield, he works as a solicitor, is 43 and a married father of two children. Bury South: Christian Wakeford MP Christian Wakeford, who won Bury South, was a county councillor for Lancashire representing Pendle Hill. The 34-year-old has a background in the communication and insurance sector and has "a proven track record of delivering for his community as both the group leader at Pendle Council and with his volunteer work, having previously been a youth worker at his local church and a school governor". Married to Alexandra, he describes himself as a "fan of rugby and real ale". He vowed to push for more investment in the local economy, help tackle young unemployment and work to crack down on crime "with tougher measures for criminals." When he was selected as the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate in August 2019, he said: "Whilst the economy has turned a corner, times are still tough for hardworking families and young people. "I would push to see more investment in the local economy, promoting local businesses and ensure that even more apprenticeships are available across Bury South." He said having been involved in politics from an early age, he believed he is "the right person to represent Bury South, fighting for residents in Parliament." Leigh: James Grundy MP In Leigh, the long-standing councillor James Grundy, 40, won his second bid to become the town's MP. He is a Conservative representing Lowton East who represented his ward for 11 years. During the 2017 election, he was almost 10,000 votes behind Labour's Jo Platt. But he managed to overturn this in 2019. At the time he said that "overturning a 14,000 majority is a hard task, but it can happen, as Michael Portillo knows only too well." His policies included protecting the constituency's green belt land and have a debate about whether Leigh should go back to having its own council. In 1974, the Municipal borough of Leigh was abolished by the Local Government Act 1972 and transferred to Greater Manchester before it was combined with others to form Wigan Council. He was educated and grew up in the area and has worked there all his life. "We need to get on with reconnecting Leigh to the national
