Marsha de Cordova – 2022 Comments on the Resignation of Liz Truss

The comments made by Marsha de Cordova, the Labour MP for Battersea, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.

It is right that the Prime Minister has resigned. She never had the mandate or authority to govern our country.

Under her leadership, the country lurched from one crisis to another. In 45 days, she had crashed the economy, the pound and the reputation of the country. Many of my constituents will pay the price for her and the Tory Party’s reckless actions.

They should be utterly ashamed of their actions over the past year, first under former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and now Liz Truss. Once again, they put their interests over that of the country and caused serious long-term damage.

Their behaviour shows the true level of entitlement and contempt they have for the people.

We are living in a Tory crisis: made in Downing Street, paid for by the people.

We urgently need to restore integrity and trust in our democracy. This starts with a General Election.
