The Welsh Tory MP who helped bring down Liz Truss says she has 'done the right thing'

Conservative party politicians in Wales have had their say on the resignation of Liz Truss as Prime Minsiter. On Thursday, Ms Truss announced that she was standing down as Prime Minister after a tumultuous 45 days in the job.

Her resignation came after a crunch meeting with Sir Graham Brady, the powerful chairman of the 1922 Committee of backbenchers. She said a leadership contest would take place within the next week and she would remain in place until a successor was chosen. You can read more about her statement here.

In the letter, he had told her to stand down "as she no longer holds the confidence of this country."
