Kiki Applebee said: “It's about time we have a general election and MPs actually wanting to do the right thing about our country again and get it back on track.

"We haven’t voted these people into power, it's about time we get that chance again. It's been too long leaving this power down to MPs.

"But frankly I don't think there's going to be anyone who's actually going to do what they say.”

Jenny Griffin said: “See how this one pans out.”

Christine Bonser-Ray said: “Wouldn't worry, she not be in long, just long enough to feather her nest.”

Ian Morrissey said: “We need a general election now.”

JaneAnne Roberts said: “We will see if she helps us.”
