Howell 'humbled' by win

Henley MP John Howell is 'humbled and overjoyed' with his imposing election victory.
The Conservative candidate told the Standard: "I am absolutely overjoyed - it is a fantastic result, not just for but for the Conservative party as a whole.
"From the beginning of the campaign we didn't believe there is a safe seat for any party, and that is still my view. We have all worked extremely hard.
"Tomorrow the hard work begins. I am looking forward to getting into the House of Commons and starting work as soon as possible.
"I want to get on with dealing with the problems facing people I have spoken to during my campaigning.
"Tomorrow I'm off on an away day with the Conservative party to discuss policies for the general election, which of course can't come soon enough for us.
"My message for the people of Henley is one of great thanks. I am humbled by the number of votes I received, and the size of the majority. I am delighted voters have had such trust in me and all I can say is that I won't let them down."
