STATEMENT ON AMBER RUDD'S RESIGNATION
9 Sep 2019
https://www.libdems.org.uk/joining-usFollowing Saturday's cross-party call for her to resign (over the gagging of Parliament, and her about-turn on Brexit), local Liberal Democrats have welcomed Amber Rudd's resignation from the Cabinet and the Conservative benches.
Candidate Nick Perry said,
"Amber Rudd's resignation provides further evidence that Boris Johnson's Conservative Party is now a Trojan horse for the Brexit Party. With the Conservatives and Labour in the hands of political hardliners, the Liberal Democrats will continue to welcome voters who want an open, tolerant and socially progressive party, committed to economic competence and stopping Brexit altogether."
