The comments made by Ed Miliband, the Shadow Business Secretary, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
The Conservative Party is unfit to govern. 12 years of failure, 5 Prime Ministers, and working people paying the price. We need a General Election now.

Marsha de Cordova – 2022 Comments on the Resignation of Liz Truss
The comments made by Marsha de Cordova, the Labour MP for Battersea, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
It is right that the Prime Minister has resigned. She never had the mandate or authority to govern our country.
Under her leadership, the country lurched from one crisis to another. In 45 days, she had crashed the economy, the pound and the reputation of the country. Many of my constituents will pay the price for her and the Tory Party’s reckless actions.
They should be utterly ashamed of their actions over the past year, first under former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and now Liz Truss. Once again, they put their interests over that of the country and caused serious long-term damage.
Their behaviour shows the true level of entitlement and contempt they have for the people.
We are living in a Tory crisis: made in Downing Street, paid for by the people.
We urgently need to restore integrity and trust in our democracy. This starts with a General Election.

Ian Blackford – 2022 Comments on the Resignation of Liz Truss
The comments made by Ian Blackford, the SNP leader at Westminster, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
It was inevitable Liz Truss would have to go after all the damage she’s inflicted – but merely swapping leaders of a broken and chaotic Tory government is not enough.
There must now be a general election. People will accept nothing less.

Nicola Sturgeon – 2022 Comments on the Resignation of Liz Truss
The comments made by Nicola Sturgeon, the Scottish First Minister, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
There are no words to describe this utter shambles adequately. It’s beyond hyperbole – & parody.
Reality though is that ordinary people are paying the price.
The interests of the Tory party should concern no-one right now.
A General Election is now a democratic imperative.

Gary Streeter – 2022 Comments Calling for Resignation of Liz Truss
The comments made by Gary Streeter, the Conservative MP for South West Devon, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
Sadly, it seems we must change leader BUT even if the angel Gabriel now takes over, the Parliamentary Party has to urgently rediscover discipline, mutual respect and teamwork if we are to (i) govern the UK well and (ii) avoid slaughter at the next election.

The comments made by Edward Leigh, the Conservative MP for Gainsborough, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
We must meet our manifesto commitment to stop mass migration. It’s no good replacing migration from the EU with migration from the rest of the world.

Yvette Cooper – 2022 Comments on the State of the Government
The comments made by Yvette Cooper, the Shadow Home Secretary, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
Cabinet appointed six weeks ago:
Home Secretary sacked
Chancellor sacked
Chief Whip out then back
Tory MPs fighting like rats in a sack
Security, policing and borders are too important for this total chaos. Why should the country have to put up with this for a single day more?

The comments made by Siobhan Baillie, the Conservative MP for Stroud, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.
Environmental issues are hugely important to my constituents. I abstained on the vote last night, knowing the potential consequences. For those asking whether I am still a Conservative MP – I don’t know but I hope so.
