Labour soap opera

Following the resignation of Keir Starmer today (Monday 22 June) as Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour party, the Liberal Democrats in Derby have called for a fundamental shift in British politics.

The Derby Lib Dems have called for an end to the “soap opera” in Number 10, as the UK faces its 7th Prime Minister in just 10 years. 

Cllr Lucy Care says Labour are continuing the Conservatives’ legacy of chaos and instability in its leadership and the British public deserve better.

The Liberal Democrats are urging Keir Starmer’s successor to create real change for local people on the cost of living and the NHS.

In Derby, the Lib Dems say in the next election it will be a clear choice between hard working Lib Dem candidates and populist opposition parties. The Lib Dems say they will fight for a fair deal for local people, stand up for Derby and strive to regenerate the area.

Responding to Keir Starmer’s resignation, Liberal Democrat local party chair, Peter Barker said:

“People across Derby and the country are sick of being let down by an endless merry-go-round of Prime Ministers, while nothing really changes for them. 

“Labour promised change but we’ve ended up with the same old chaos as under the Conservatives.

“It’s time to end this Westminster soap opera and get on with delivering positive change for people in our community.

"That means tackling soaring bills to put money back in people’s pockets and fixing the NHS so people can see a GP or dentist when they need to.

"Whoever becomes Prime Minister needs to end the chaos and focus on getting the country back on track.”
