Labour, Lib Dems, SNP and Johnson supporters say former chancellor has no mandate to run country
Calls for a general election by voices ranging from Labour to Boris Johnson ultra-loyalists, such as Nadine Dorries, are growing louder after Rishi Sunak won the Tory leadership race.
Sunak was accused by Labour’s deputy leader, Angela Rayner, of “dodging scrutiny” as she called for voters to have a say after the former chancellor was officially declared the new Conservative leader on Monday.
