Keir Starmer demanded a general election “now” after Liz Truss quit, and said Labour is “very prepared” with a manifesto ready to go.

In the wake of Ms Truss’s resignation as Tory leader after a chaotic 44 days in office, the Labour leader said: “After 12 years of Tory failure, the British people deserve so much better than this revolving door of chaos”.
