We need a general election now.
The comments made by John Swinney, the Deputy Scottish First Minister, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
The Conservative Party is a disgrace. Their folly of embracing Brexit, the real financial damage done to people by the mini budget and their playing of games amongst the entitled is their shame. We need an election now and Scotland needs to be independent of this farce.

This has to be the end for the Tories. They have no mandate to inflict further harm on this place or our people.
No more tax breaks for the rich paid for by working people struggling to make ends meet.
There must be a general election to remove them from power now.

This has been a complete and utter failure of government with everyone in this country now having to pay the price.

I hope you enjoyed your holiday boss [Boris Johnson]. Time to come back. Few issues at the office that need addressing. #bringbackboris
The comments made by Marco Longhi, the Conservative MP for Dudley North, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
The only person who has a mandate from the general public, is Boris Johnson MP. He is the only person that commands that authority given to him by the public at a General Election.
He is the only person who can discharge the mandate from the people. Please come back Boss.
The comments made by Chris Bryant, the Labour MP for the Rhondda, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
Problems with Johnson.
1. Privileges investigation
2. His poll ratings with public rather than Tories
3. Ministers who resigned can hardly support him
4. Pincher
5. Adviser on ministerial code
6. He makes unforced errors time and again
7. He lies and can’t help it
The comments made by Douglas Ross, the Conservative MP for Moray, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
I wish Liz Truss and her family well. She has made a tough choice but it is the right decision.
We must now move forward quickly and the new Leader and Prime Minister will have to restore stability for the good of the country.
![PRESS RELEASE : New Welsh Language Commissioner announced [October 2022]](https://www.ukpol.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/welshgovernment-150x119.png)
The press release issued by the Welsh Government on 20 October 2022.
The First Minister has announced the appointment of Efa Gruffudd Jones as Welsh Language Commissioner.
She will take up the position in January 2023, taking over the role from the late Aled Roberts.
The Commissioner has an important role to play in increasing the provision of services in Welsh and the use of the language and upholding the rights of Welsh speakers.
Efa Gruffudd Jones is currently the chief executive of the National Centre for Learning Welsh. The centre is responsible for all aspects of learning Welsh from the curriculum and course development to resources for tutors, research, marketing and digital learning.
An independent selection panel recommended that Efa has the skills, experiences, and credibility to be appointed Welsh Language Commissioner. This view was endorsed by the Senedd’s Culture, Communications, Welsh language, Sport and International Relations Committee.
First Minister Mark Drakeford said:
I congratulate Efa on her appointment as the Welsh Language Commissioner. The language has been central to Efa’s career – both as chief executive of the National Centre for Learning Welsh and as chief executive of the Urdd.
She comes to the post with years of experience of working for the benefit of the Welsh language and of working with Welsh speakers and learners across Wales.
Minister for Education and the Welsh Language, Jeremy Miles said:
I am delighted to welcome Efa to her new role as Welsh Language Commissioner. We have ambitious aims to increase not only the number of Welsh speakers but also the everyday use of Welsh.
The Commissioner’s role in working to increase the use of Welsh and Welsh language services is an important part of us achieving this target, and I look forward to working closely with Efa on this.
Efa Gruffudd Jones said:
It will be a privilege to be the Welsh Language Commissioner, and an honour to follow in Aled Roberts’ footsteps. I want to see a Wales where people can enjoy using Welsh every day. I look forward to doing all I can to ensure that the Welsh language, our national treasure, belongs to all.
