The Liberal Democrat MP for Kingston and Surbiton, Sir Ed Davey, says that the UK deserves a more stable Prime Minister after current PM Keir Starmer has today (Monday, 22 June) announced his full resignation as Prime Minister and as Labour leader.

In an exclusive interview with Nub News, the Lib Dem leader said: "The British people are sick of being let down by an endless merry-go-round of Prime Ministers while nothing really changes for them.

"This time must be different. It can't just be about changing who's in Number 10, it has to be about changing our broken politics so we can fix our country.

"That means tackling the cost of living with a bold new deal with Europe, fixing social care to end the NHS crisis and giving power back to communities through a fair voting system.

"Whoever becomes Prime Minister needs to drop the caution and complacency and show the ambition our country deserves."

Sir Ed saw his party grow across the country during last month's local elections when the Lib Dems took over 15 councils, including in Kingston and nearby Richmond.
