Welsh Conservatives leader suggests a general election should be called if Liz Truss can't 'regain confidence'

The leader of the Conservatives in Wales has said there should be a general election if Prime Minister Liz Truss cannot "regain confidence". He was speaking before it was announced that Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng had been sacked after only 38 days in the job.

The Prime Minister held a press conference at Downing Street on Friday afternoon, after appointing Jeremy Hunt to the role. You can read our live coverage of what she had to say, here.

But Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies called on Ms Truss to "turn this situation around." In an interview with Times Radio, he said: "It's important now that we reflect on where we're at, the prime minister seeks to regain that confidence, and if she can't regain that confidence, it would be right that people have their chance to have their say on this matter".
