Following Liz Truss’ short and chaotic time in Downing Street, the Tories have crowned Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister without him saying a single word about how he would run the country and without anyone having the chance to vote.

This is the same Rishi Sunak who as Chancellor failed to grow the economy, failed to get a grip on inflation, and failed to help families with the Tory cost of living crisis.

And it’s the same Rishi Sunak who broke Covid laws, held a USA Green card whilst in government and whose family avoided paying tax in this country whilst he put up taxes 15 times in 2 years  on everyone else.

With his record – and after Liz Truss comprehensively beat him over the summer – it’s no wonder people have had enough. He promised to govern with integrity, yet one fo the first things he did was to re-appoint a Home Secretary who just 6 days earlier had been removed from her post for security breaches and breaches of the Ministerial Code..

The Conservative Party has lost its mandate to govern. They can sack this Chancellor or that Prime Minister, but the damage is done. The Tory crisis made in Downing Street is being paid for by households in Cardiff central and across the UK.

We need a general election, so you get a say on the future of Britain – and the chance for a fresh start with Labour.
