By Emma Soteriou
"This will ensure we remain on a path to deliver our fiscal plans and maintain our country’s economic stability and national security.Opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer called for an immediate general election in the wake of Liz Truss's resignation."After 12 years of Tory failure, the British people deserve so much better than this revolving door of chaos. In the last few years, the Tories have set record-high taxation, trashed our institutions and created a cost-of-living crisis.
"The Tories cannot respond to their latest shambles by yet again simply clicking their fingers and shuffling the people at the top without the consent of the British people. Shadow Attorney General Emily Thornberry said: "We should have a general election - it is the only thing that we should have."This crisis was made in Downing Street, working people are paying the price and we need a government that people can trust."We should have a general election, let the people choose."Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey also called for a general election following the Prime Minister's resignation.
