MP James Heappey is 'delighted' that Liz Truss is the new Prime Minister

By Emma Dance 6th Sep 2022

As Liz Truss takes up the reins as Prime Minister, MP for the Wells Constituency, James Heappey, has spoken out in support of the new leader.

"I am delighted the country now has Liz Truss as our Prime Minister. This is not a time for showmanship and pizzaz. What is needed is hard graft and a willingness to deliver across Government," said Mr Heappey.

"Everything I have seen of Liz while she's been in the Foreign Office shows me she is exactly the person to lead us through the challenging years ahead. On taking office, her first priority will be helping people with the increases to the cost of living and growing our economy in the face of a global downturn. A bold economic vision is what is required and that's what has been the centre piece of Liz's campaign and will be the centre piece of her agenda in Government."
