The former minister said he lost it in the Derbyshire town of Buxton after giving a speech on Saturday and took to Twitter to ask the public to help him get it back. He said he was “very embarrassed” but would be “so grateful” if people could help share the image. The photo posted on social media shows a circular gold ring with a cross. The former Penrith Conservative and Borders MP said he believed the ring “fell in St John’s Road”, which is close to the venue, after speaking at an opera house. In response to the tweet, thousands of people shared and commented on the post in an effort to help find her. Under former Prime Minister Theresa May, Stewart served as International Development Secretary and was later expelled from the party. He resigned as an MP in 2019 to run for Mayor of London as an independent candidate.
