Views on Brexit
She was adopted as candidate for Stourbridge at the last minute, after Margot James announced that she would not be contesting the 2019 election, due to disagreements with the Stourbridge Conservative Party. This followed Margot James having lost the Conservative whip in September and October 2019 and then regaining it, as a result of her voting on Brexit. In an interview for a local newspaper, she described herself as a 'proud Brexiteer'.However she had voted in the 2016 referendum to remain in the EU, as she was then living in Germany.
