Responding to news that Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson has been sacked for leaking national security secrets, TSSA General Secretary, Manuel Cortes said:

"This topsy turvy Tory world we are all being forced to live in has to end. A cabinet from which the Defence Secretary is sacked for leaking national security secrets, in which the Transport Secretary stays in place no matter what he makes a balls of - and today it was paying millions for non-existent Brexit ferry contracts - and over which the Prime Minister persists with her myth that she can implement Brexit - is sinking Britain.

"There is nothing of comic value left to plunder from the Tories. They have made government in Britain a tragedy. A general election is now not just desirable. It is also the essential first step to restoring dignity and integrity to the discredited process of fixed government in this country."
