I’m pleased Boris Johnson has finally resigned. It’s the right decision for my constituents and the rest of the country.
But the truth is he should have gone a long time ago. His lies, broken promises and lack of basic decency and integrity have damaged Britain at home and abroad.
Whilst the Tories rip themselves apart and inflict chaos on the country, my constituents face a cost of living crisis.
People can’t pay their bills, rent or mortgages or afford the weekly shop. They can’t get a passport or driving licence, let alone an operation or an appointment to see their GP. And the Tories are scrabbling around like rats in a sack trying to save their own necks rather than sorting all these problems out. That’s before we even look at the bigger challenges Britain faces like climate change and global threats like that from Russia.
The Tories have been in government for 12 long years. They are all culpable for the mess we face.
As Keir Starmer has rightly said, changing one person at the top of the Tory party isn’t anywhere near enough. We need a change of government and a fresh start for Britain.
