Conservative Leadership: a group of arsonists asking for a new box of matches
EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Responding to reports that seven Conservative MPs have asked for nomination papers for the Conservative Leadership, Liberal Democrat Chief Whip, Wendy Chamberlain MP said:
“This collection of failed ministers now reportedly running for the leadership is a symbol of the chaos the Conservative Party forced upon the country. It's like a group of arsonists asking for a new box of matches.
"Fortunately for the country the only bonfire is the Conservative Party.
“Whilst the Conservatives fight like rats in a sack, the Liberal Democrats will be a constructive opposition, standing up for the NHS and care."
