At long last the battle royal to lead the Conservatives has come to another end.

I wish Rishi Sunak well in the new job and as Prime Minister.

However, let’s not forget he has been a leading player in the mess that the Conservatives have made.

They have put their own petty arguments and naked ambitions before the urgent needs of the Country.

The Country is unlikely to forget or forgive.

Every day, week and month, local people will be reminded that the Conservatives are not to be trusted running the country as we all face bigger mortgage payments, higher rents, increased food and fuel costs and the Tories promised remedy of cuts, cuts, cuts in the services we value and want.

All this because of the disastrous decisions made by Conservatives in Government.

Mr Sunak, the third Prime Minister in eight weeks, and his Conservative Government has no mandate from the people.

It’s time for a General Election now. Let the people decide who they want in Downing Street.
