Angela Rayner has said the Conservatives have 'done more u-turns than a cul-de-sac' in an interview with Sky News. The Labour MP, for Ashton-under-Lyne, made the comments live on Thursday night (October 20) after Prime Minister Liz Truss announced she was resigning after just 44 days in office.
The broadcast on Thursday heard Rayner call for a general election, saying that the Conservative party had 'lost the will of the people' and needed to 'put the country first'. She added that the 'fiasco' and 'chaos' in Government is 'embarrassing' for the nation.
Truss announced she was stepping down from her position on Thursday afternoon, making her the UK's shortest-ever Prime Minister in history. It comes just 24 hours after she declared 'I'm a fighter, not a quitter', with 15 MPs publicly calling for her to go.
