ALYN & Deeside MP Mark Tami has called for a general election following Liz Truss' resignation as Prime Minister. 

The Labour MP said the Tories "can't be trusted" to clear up "their mess". 

Truss' resignation came just 44 days after she was elected as Prime Minister by Tory Party members, making her the shortest serving PM in British history.  

Her resignation came on the back on a growing rebellion in the Tory party against her leadership, and has triggered the second leadership election in just four months. 

And Flintshire's Labour MP, Mark Tami, is calling for a general election.

He said: "Liz Truss may be gone - but the mess she's made isn't. Across Alyn & Deeside, thousands of people will pay higher energy bills, higher mortgage interest and higher food prices because of the choices she made in just 45 days in charge.

"The Tories chose her, the Tories backed her, and the Tories have to take responsibility for her. This is their mess - and they can't be trusted to clean it up.

"This chaos cannot continue while the Tories choose another hapless Prime Minister to force on the country without giving the British people a say. We need a general election, and a strong and stable government led by Sir Keir Starmer."
