I recognise however that, given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party.
I have therefore spoken to His Majesty The King to notify him that I am resigning as Leader of the Conservative Party.

I’m ending the short-term thinking on energy once and for all.
I’m acting now so people and businesses are supported with a new Energy Price Guarantee.
I will tackle the root cause of the issue by boosting domestic energy supply to ensure we’re not in this position ever again.
