Enough is enough: Helen Morgan calls for General Election

North Shropshire MP Helen Morgan has called for a General Election to be held as soon as possible before Liz Truss inflicts any more damage to the economy.

Reacting to the latest U-turn and sacking of Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, the Lib Dem MP said:

“Enough is enough. A General Election must take place before the inept Prime Minister can inflict any more damage to the country.

“Liz Truss ignored common sense, ignored public opinion and ignored the markets as she announced unfunded tax cuts and then boasted about it while the pound plummeted. She’s now performed another U-turn in a bid to cling onto power.

“People across North Shropshire are angry - angry that the Conservatives have treated the British economy as a laboratory for a reckless experiment with their household finances.

“The Prime Minister’s disastrous approach has forced families to pay hundreds of pounds more in mortgage payments and burdened taxpayers with £160 billion of reckless borrowing.

“It is clear the Conservatives do not command any authority. The public must be given the chance to have their say via a General Election.”
