Simon Jupp MP has welcomed the news today (Monday 5 September) that Liz Truss will become the next prime minister.

The East Devon MP, whose constituency includes Sidmouth, had backed Rishi Sunak in July.

He said: "Congratulations Liz Truss and commiserations to Rishi Sunak.

"The Conservative Party must now unite to support our new prime minister in her efforts against Putin's invasion and the huge impact it's having on the cost of living in East Devon.

"United we stand, divided we fall. Onwards!"

The contest came after Boris Johnson resigned on 7 July as Conservative leader amid mounting pressure.
