“She [Liz Truss] picked up 57 percent of eligible votes among Conservative Party members. Rishi Sunak, former chancellor of the exchequer, got 42 percent. She promised that she campaigned as a Conservative and she will govern as a Conservative, she promised to cut taxes, to grow the economy, she promised to deal with the energy crisis.”

“Double resignations, a double bombshell for Boris Johnson and his future as the prime minister of the United Kingdom. I think it will be very, very difficult for him to survive such a step from two key allies.”

“Mr. Johnson is essentially now a prisoner of his more hawkish cabinet colleagues and the 100 or so MPs who seem to be allergic to any kind of public health restrictions. They just feel that the state has grown too big in trying to combat Covid and that they really don't want the government to grow any bigger.”

“I think the first thing is the government have got to do more to make Plan A work. If the scientists are saying work from home and masks, we should do that. So get A working better because the vaccination programme has been stalling, and introduce those parts of Plan B. But there are also things not in A or B that need to be done, like paying statutory sick pay from day one and also better ventilation in public spaces.”

“A few days of disruption to fuel supplies makes the government look foolish. Much larger fuel bills are a much bigger deal.”

“The answer to the present stresses and strains, which are mainly a function of growth and economic revival, is not to reach for that same old lever of uncontrolled immigration to keep wages low. The answer is to control immigration to allow people of talent to come to this country, but not to use immigration as an excuse for failure to invest in people in skills, and in the equipment, the facilities and machinery ... they need to do their jobs. To deliver that change we will get on with our job of uniting and levelling up across the UK - the greatest project that any government can embark on.”

“Someone in government needs to explain their incompetence and there must be a case for someone to resign - whether it's transport secretary Grant Shapps, business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng, or someone in the MoD. But this is shockingly bad government.”

“The consequences of Boris Johnson's failure to prepare or plan are being felt across our country. The government must now bring together businesses and trade unions to develop a proper plan, both for the immediate crisis, as well as to tackle the long-term issues that have led us here.”

“Actually there is an important difference between our country and many other countries around the world, that is that our country is a freedom-loving country. If you look at the history of this country over the last 300 years, virtually every advance from free speech to democracy has come from this country. And it is very difficult to ask the British population uniformly to obey guidelines in the way that it is necessary.”
