Davey: British people are sick of being let down by an endless merry-go-round of Prime Ministers

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Keir Starmer’s resignation as Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour Party, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

“The British people are sick of being let down by an endless merry-go-round of Prime Ministers while nothing really changes for them.

"This time must be different. It can’t just be about changing who’s in Number 10, it has to be about changing our broken politics so we can fix our country.

"That means tackling the cost of living with a bold new deal with Europe, fixing social care to end the NHS crisis and giving power back to communities through a fair voting system.

"Whoever becomes Prime Minister needs to drop the caution and complacency and show the ambition our country deserves.”
