    Chi Onwurah – 2022 Comments on the Resignation of Liz Truss

    The comments made by Chi Onwurah, the Labour MP for Newcastle Central, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.

    After 12 years of Tory failure, the people of Newcastle deserve so much better than a revolving door of Conservative chaos. Mortgage payments soaring, energy prices rising and the North East becoming the child poverty capital of the country. All at the hands of the Tories.

    Crisis after crisis – created in Downing Street. The people of Newcastle are paying the price for Tory incompetence.

    The British public deserve a proper say on the country’s future. We must have a chance at a fresh start. We need a General Election – now.

    David Lammy – 2022 Comments on the Resignation of Liz Truss

    The comments made by David Lammy, the Labour MP for Tottenham, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.

    The idea that it’s acceptable that 357 Conservative members of Parliament choose our 3rd PM in as many months is unacceptable.

    We need a General Election NOW.

    Alastair Campbell – 2022 Comments on a Liz Truss Resignation Honours List

    The comments made by Alastair Campbell, the former Director of Communications, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.

    Neither she [Liz Truss] nor Johnson should be allowed a resignation honours list. They have no honour. They have disgraced and debased an office they should never have held.

    Jeremy Corbyn – 2022 Comments on the Resignation of Liz Truss

    The comments made by Jeremy Corbyn, the Independent MP for Islington North, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.

    The debacle of Liz Truss’ short-lived premiership is a symptom of a broken economic system and a trashed democracy. We will continue to lurch from crisis to crisis — and ordinary people will pay the price — until we finally build a society for the many, not the few.

  • Tim Farron – 2022 Comments on the Resignation of Liz Truss (II)

    Tim Farron – 2022 Comments on the Resignation of Liz Truss (II)

    The comments made by Tim Farron, the Liberal Democrat MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.

    Liz Truss was the shortest serving PM in our history, but her disastrous legacy will continue to devastate our country a long time to come.

    Our children and grandchildren will bear the cost of this disastrous Conservative Government who have gambled with our country’s future.

    Our country deserves and desperately needs a government that is competent and compassionate – it is clear that the Conservatives are neither.

    This charade is only set to continue unless the people get their say in the form of a general election.

    Tim Farron – 2022 Comments on the Resignation of Liz Truss (I)

    The comments made by Tim Farron, the Liberal Democrat MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.

    So…. We’re about to trust the direction of our country at this most important time, to a group of people who have consistently shown that they have horrific judgment and terrible priorities. I trust the people, time to let them decide.

  • Caroline Lucas – 2022 Comments on the Resignation of Liz Truss

    Caroline Lucas – 2022 Comments on the Resignation of Liz Truss

    The comments made by Caroline Lucas, the Green Party MP for Brighton Pavilion, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.

    Anything other than a #GeneralElection2022 is undemocratic. It’s not just Liz Truss’ breathtaking incompetence, it’s the chaos & division amongst the Tory MPs behind her and anyone else they pretend is a “unity” candidate to replace her. 3 Tory PMs & 4 chancellors in 1 year? No.
