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.
