Boris Johnson out: Leadership contest has become a total farce

23 Oct 2022

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Responding to the news that Boris Johnson is not standing in the Conservative leadership contest, Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats, Daisy Cooper MP said:

“The Conservative leadership contest has become a total farce.

“This is a humiliating climbdown for Boris Johnson and all the Conservative MPs who wanted to put him back in Number 10 after he lied and broke the law.

“The public will rightly be furious that they’re set to endure a third Conservative PM in just as many months. 

“While people are struggling with their spiralling bills, the Conservatives look set to appoint a former Chancellor who lost the country billions. 

"Our country doesn’t need another Conservative coronation, we need a General Election."
