John McDonnell – 2022 Comments on the Resignation of Liz Truss

The comments made by John McDonnell, the Labour MP for Hayes and Harlington, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.

Truss was selected by 150,000 Tory Party members. We are now facing the selection of the next Prime Minister by a few hundred Conservative MPs. That cannot be right. This is meant to be a democracy. We need a general election.
