"Bungling Badenoch" urgently needs to clarify Conservative position on PM attending major summits after Pritchard criticism

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Conservative MP Mark Pritchard’s criticism of Kemi Badenoch’s comments after the PM’s statement today, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said:

“Bungling Badenoch strikes again. Her own MPs are now in open revolt over her deeply unserious leadership.

“The Conservative party’s infighting seems terminal, more interested in cheap point scoring than focussing on the great challenges this country faces. Badenoch urgently needs to clarify if her party’s position is that the Prime Minister should not be attending major international summits.

“The Conservatives have abdicated their responsibilities as an opposition that can effectively hold the Government to account. The Liberal Democrats will continue to step up where the Conservatives fail and be the constructive opposition the country needs.”
