Energy Minister stands down: Drumbeat of Conservative resignations is becoming deafening

EMBARGO: Immediate release

Responding to the Energy Minister, Graham Stuart, standing down from his government role, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said: 

"The drumbeat of Conservative resignations is becoming deafening. Ministers are finding any excuse they can to get away from this deeply unpopular Conservative government. 

"Even Rishi Sunak's Ministers know that time is up on this tired and out of touch government. 

"The writing is on the wall for Rishi Sunak, and the sooner he calls a general election the better. The country, and his own MPs, know the clock is ticking."
