...and Sunak also played a key role in delaying Covid action, as detailed in 'Failures of State' - delays that cost many lives and wreaked extra economic damage.
Our country deserves better than yet another unelected PM.

My motion calling for more government action on #CostOfLiving and #EnergyEfficiency was passed by a strong majority at @HfdsCouncil today. But all the Tory councillors abstained or voted against, showing complacency in face of hardship for households and #climatecrisis.

‘A difficult day’?!
Absolute scenes in Westminster over the last 24 hours.
The country deserves far better than this #ConservativeChaos.
The Conservative Party has shown it is unfit for office.

Great to visit Billy Lewis, 2022 winner of Soil Farmer of the Year award for his Herefordshire mixed farm. Excellent to see the growth in #regenerativeagriculture and to meet so many other farmers taking inspiration from Billy!

How long does our country have to continue under this zero-credibility government?
This omnishambles is entirely of the Conservatives' own making.
It's way past time for them to go.

Just let this sink in. Four Conservative Chancellors since July, in the middle of a cost of living crisis.

The buck stops at the top @trussliz. You can't duck responsibility by throwing someone else under the bus. It's your own failed ideology that's caused chaos.

The Conservative #AttackOnNature continues. The short-sightedness of this govt is breathtaking.
We need new housing AND net zero AND biodiversity. A push to the top, not a race to the bottom.
