Local elections: Sunak must listen to country and call a General Election

EMBARGO: For Immediate Release

Responding to the overnight results in the local elections, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said:

“It’s now clear the British public have voted for change and rejected Rishi Sunak’s out of touch Conservative government. Communities are fed up with being taken for granted by the Conservative party. 

“Rishi Sunak must listen to the country and immediately call a General Election. Britain’s crumbling health services cannot wait any longer. Each day of dithering and delay by this Conservative government plunges our NHS further into crisis. 

“The Liberal Democrats are on the up with gaining councillors across the country, from Hampshire to Stockport.

“The Liberal Democrats’ winning streak continues and we are ready to beat Conservative MPs and finally get this chaotic government out of office.”
