It had become clear that the premiership of Liz Truss was no longer tenable, and yesterday evening I called publicly for the Prime Minister to stand down.
It is right that, given the clear inability for the Prime Minister to enact her policy platform, she has resigned swiftly as Leader of the Conservative Party, and will tender her resignation as Prime Minister to HM King Charles as soon as a successor is appointed.
I welcome clarification from the Prime Minister and the Chairman of the 1922 Committee that the upcoming Conservative Party leadership election is to be concluded swiftly. This is in recognition of the stark global challenges which are impacting us and remain a key priority for me as Member of Parliament for Crawley.
In Parliament I look forward to working with colleagues to continue enacting the Conservative Party manifesto which I stood on at the last General Election.
