Goldsmith: Rishi Sunak should have had the guts to sack him

3 Jul 2023

EMBARGO: Immedidate Release

Responding to Zac Goldsmith's resignation from Government, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:

"This Conservative chaos is never ending. Every day brings more more resignations and scandal in this depressing Westminster soap opera.  Rishi Sunak should have had the guts to sack Zac Goldsmith yesterday when he was brutally criticised by the partygate watchdog. Sunak is clearly too weak to control his own party.

"Zac Goldsmith's resignation has at least confirmed what we have known all along, that Rishi Sunak's Government doesn't give a damn about the environment and animal rights.  They have scrapped plans to stop puppy smuggling, watered down climate change action and let water companies pump sewage in our rivers. What a sorry state of affairs this is."
