Cleverly: A failed Conservative minister with a tarnished legacy

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Responding to news that James Cleverly has formally announced that he will be running to be the next Conservative Leader, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said:

"James Cleverly is just another failed Conservative minister who left the country in chaos. 

"His legacy in Government was a failed Rwanda scheme that cost the taxpayer millions and communities plagued by unsolved crime. 

"The Conservatives are still a divided party fighting like rats in a sack. While they argue amongst themselves, Liberal Democrat MPs will work hard to stand up for our communities and hold the new government to account."
