Labour says Theresa May decision reflects time for change

ODN

Labour Party chair Anneliese Dodds says Theresa May’s decision to step down as an MP at the next General Election is yet another sign that ‘now is the time for change’. The former prime minister says said she will not seek re-election when voters go to the polls later this year – bringing to an end, her 27-year parliamentary career. Report by Covellm.

00:00 I very much want to wish Theresa May all the best for the future, whatever she decides to do with it.

00:06 Of course she has been in Parliament for a long period, for 27 years.

00:11 She's held the highest office in government as Prime Minister.

00:15 I do think it's interesting that we're obviously seeing Theresa May saying that she would stand down,

00:21 but a large number of other Conservative MPs as well,

00:24 including many who've really not been in Parliament for very long at all.

00:27 I think those Conservative MPs recognise now's the time for change, so does the country.

00:32 So frankly, we need to get on and have that general election.

00:35 Rishi Sunak needs to stop bottling it and actually see when the date will be.
