The Tories have crowned Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister without him saying a single word about how he would run the country and without anyone having the chance to vote.

This is the same Rishi Sunak who as Chancellor failed to grow the economy, failed to get a grip on inflation, and failed to help families with the Tory cost of living crisis.

And it’s the same Rishi Sunak whose family avoided paying tax in this country before he put up taxes on everyone else.

With his record – and after Liz Truss comprehensively beat him over the summer – it’s no wonder he is dodging scrutiny.

Rishi Sunak has no mandate and no idea what working people need. We need a general election so the public get a say on the future of Britain – and the chance for a fresh start with Labour.
