Tonight John Redwood joined Rishi Sunak in running away from their responsibilities.
Wokingham, and the country, deserve better. Only the Lib Dems can beat the Conservatives here.
Rishi Sunak committed a cowardly cop-out.
His failure to vote on the Privileges Committee report on Boris Johnson says all you need to know about this Prime Minister's lack of leadership.
Sunak promised integrity yet when push came to shove, he was too weak to even turn up.

The government funding your local council receives is less than half in real terms what it was in 2015. Maybe next time you’re at your second job in Westminster, you could attempt to secure some funding so the council doesn’t have to find money elsewhere.

John, some basic economics. Higher risk investments demand higher returns. Your government’s mishandling of the economy has meant that something that used to be considered a “risk free” asset no longer is. It’s not the BoE. Your party can not be trusted with the economy.

Tax cuts do nothing for the lowest paid who can’t afford the basics.
Or for businesses close to collapse because they can’t afford the energy bill.
