The Lancaster MP has called for a General Election following the decision of Liz Truss to quit as Conservative Party leader.
The UK will have its third Prime Minister in just a few months after her decision to step down after just 44 days in office, with the party aiming to elect a new leader by the end of next week.
Cat Smith told Beyond Radio: “The Conservative Party no longer has a mandate to govern. They’ve crashed the economy and now three Prime Ministers in four months. This can’t go on.
‘’After 12 years of Tory failure, the British people deserve so much better than this revolving door of chaos. In the last few years, the Tories have set record-high taxation, trashed our institutions and created a cost-of-living crisis.
‘’The economy is in such a state, people are facing £500 a month extra on their mortgages. The damage they have done will take years to fix. The British public deserve a proper say on the country's future. They must have the chance to compare the Tories’ chaos with Labour’s plans to sort out their mess, grow the economy for working people and rebuild the country for a fairer, greener future.
‘’We must have a chance at a fresh start. We need a general election - now.”
Beyond Radio has contacted the office of the Morecambe and Lunesdale MP, Conservative David Morris, but at time of story publication had yet to receive a response.
