The Council on Social Responsibility of the Methodist Church in Ireland have issued the following on the election of The Rt Hon Elizabeth Truss MP as the new leader of the Conservative and Unionist Party and as such, the incoming Prime Minister:-

“The Methodist Church in Ireland wishes the new Prime Minister well and encourages all our people to pray for her and her new Cabinet as they embark on this enormous task at this critical time. Following our Lord, we have particular concern for those who are the most vulnerable in our society and we will pray for our new Prime Minister as she leads the Government in tackling the ‘cost of living crisis’, with its potentially devastating impact on millions of poorer families. 

We also offer her prayerful support in dealing urgently with the political logjam in Northern Ireland. It is vital that she helps in finding an agreed way of dealing with the Protocol and the return of a functioning Executive at Stormont.”
