'I'm Christian - get over it', says Welsh Tory leader

Being a Christian is "part of who I am" and "people need to get over it", said the new Conservative Senedd leader.

But Darren Millar MS added he was "not a person who likes to impose [his] views on other people".

The Senedd Member for Clwyd West was elected leader of the Welsh Conservatives in the Senedd on 5 December after Andrew RT Davies stood down on 3 December.

He is currently Chief Executive of a Christian charity, the Pocket Book Testament League, and works an average of seven hours a week for the organisation alongside his political work.

Mr Millar paid tribute to his predecessor on Sunday saying he did "a fantastic job", adding that he wanted to "build on his legacy".

"Andrew has his style and I have my own," he said.

"I want to plough my own furrow and point out that it is more important in politics to define yourself by what you are for rather than what you are against."

He said the Welsh Conservatives are "pro freedom of choice, pro personal responsibility, pro home ownership, pro farming, pro Wales and pro devolution."

"I want to take a positive message to the people of Wales which will hopefully inspire them," Mr Millar added.
