Huw Merriman – 2022 Comments on Rishi Sunak Becoming Prime Minister

The comments made by Huw Merriman, the Conservative MP for Bexhill and Battle, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.

I feel enormous sympathy for Liz Truss. I did not put a letter in for a leadership contest and hoped the change in policies would give her time to work this through. That did not happen and I send her my thanks and best wishes. I’m sorry we have not done the best for our country.

Now it’s time to unite around Rishi Sunak. We have adopted his policies. It’s now time to have him leading our country and delivering them. The economy needs a solid, experienced operator; Rishi is the leader to raise this country back to where it belongs.
