Davey: Let’s have a confidence vote now to see whether Labour MPs have any confidence in the Prime Minister

EMBARGO: Immediate release

Responding to the ongoing scandal surrounding the Prime Minister's appointment of Peter Mandelson, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

“The British people can’t afford for this Labour soap opera to drag on for months or even years, like the Conservative Party did with Boris Johnson. We need a government totally focused on ending the cost-of-living crisis, fixing the NHS and care, and getting our economy growing again.

“Keir Starmer should say ‘put up or shut up’. Let’s have a confidence vote now to see whether Labour MPs have any confidence in the Prime Minister, so the Government can get past this one way or the other and start focusing on the change our country needs.”
