Liz Truss's resignation (Press release)

Responding to Liz Truss's resignation as Prime Minister, Liberal Democrat candidate for Stone, Alec Sandiford said:

"Boris Johnson failed our country and Liz Truss trashed our economy.

"People in Stone deserve better than this incompetent and chaotic government, which has sent mortgages spiralling while our NHS services are stretched to breaking point.

"The Conservative party have proven time and time again they are not fit to lead our great country.

"This country needs a general election and local Conservative MPs in Staffordshire now need to do their patriotic duty. Conservative MPs cannot prop up more chaotic Governments.

"At the next election people across Stone will be backing the Liberal Democrats to get a fair deal on the NHS and the cost of living instead of more Conservative chaos."
