Responding to the news that Rishi Sunak will become the UK’s next Prime Minister Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Jane Dodds MS said:
“The Conservatives have over the seven years continuously treated the UK like a fiefdom to carry out internal battles, as a consequence the country has suffered time and time again.
“The problem is clearly not any single Prime Minister or Minister, but the Conservative Party as an institution which continues to put its own wellbeing above that of the country’s and is so internally divided it cannot hope to produce a well-functioning government.
“Rishi Sunak showed time and time again in his role as Chancellor that he was out-of-touch with the struggles ordinary people faced whether it’s paying their heating bills or being able to access key public services.
“The public has lost trust in the Conservatives and Sunak does not have a mandate from the people, we need a General Election now to get us out of this perpetual chaos and give the country fresh hope.”
