Doris says that if Liz Truss wants a whole new mandate, she should ask the people for it

Former British culture minister Nadine Doris has said the new prime minister, Liz Terrace, must call a general election if she is to abandon the Conservative policies set by her predecessor Boris Johnson.

Doris resigned as culture minister when she succeeded Truss as prime minister, although she had backed Truss in the race for the leadership of the ruling Conservative Party.

In a tweet, the former minister claimed that Truss had halted policies she had previously advocated.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, Secretary of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and another Johnson loyalist, said he disagreed with Dorries’ call for a general election.
