Ian Blackford calls for General Election with Liz Truss set to enter Downing Street

Ian Blackford says Liz Truss is pledging policies that were not in the Conservative manifesto

A GENERAL election should be held sooner rather than later after Liz Truss enters Downing Street, according to SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford.

Blackford said a general election should be held because Truss appears to be making proposals which were not in the Conservative manifesto in the 2019 election.
