Sir Ed Davey said the 148 Conservative MPs who voted to oust Boris Johnson should now resign their party whip and stand as independents.
Speaking on BBC Breakfast, the leader of the Liberal Democrats said of Boris Johnson: “He didn’t win for the British people.
“I think the 148 Tory rebels should resign the Conservative whip, sit as independents, and work with opposition parties like the Liberal Democrats to hold this discredited Prime Minister to account.
“There are millions of people, millions of families and pensioners, who are suffering with the cost-of-living crisis, we’ve got the NHS and care crisis, and we also now have the travel and holiday chaos.
“This Government is incompetent, this Prime Minister is not showing the interests of the British people.”
