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.
