Conservative Leadership: contest has shown refusal to take responsibility for the damage they did

EMBARGO: 22.30 Friday 1st November

Commenting ahead of the result of the Conservative Party leadership contest today, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said:

"Whoever wins the Conservative Party leadership contest will have to carry the can for years of failure that tanked the economy and left the NHS on its knees.

"This contest has shown the Conservatives are refusing to take responsibility for the damage they did to the country and are still totally out of touch with people’s concerns.

“The Liberal Democrats will keep on providing the strong, decent opposition to this government that the country needs on the NHS, the cost of living and our environment.”
