Pat McFadden, Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury, has been giving his reaction to Rishi Sunak becoming prime minister.
He says Sunak is the third PM in three months - the fifth in six years - "it's all been very chaotic and unstable," he adds.
He says this morning's newspaper headlines seem to be about uniting the Conservative Party, "but I think the country's got to come first here and stability for the country."
McFadden says the Tories have bought us "all that instability and chaos in the first place" - adding the party Sunak represents is now “part of the problem, not part of the solution.”
"The reason we've been calling for a general election is that the more PMs into a parliament you get, the further away you get from a mandate," he says. – BBC News
