Rishi Sunak must change Tory fortunes by May’s local elections to pull off shock national win, expert says 🔴 singharj
since Mr Johnson was ousted, with Liz Truss’s disastrous premiership making things even worse, “the 80-20 strategy is still the strategy”.
Labour publicly insists it is ready for an election at any time but the party’s high command does not believe Mr Sunak has the space for a snap early vote, if for example there is a sudden turnaround in Tory fortunes. “The only real reason you’d go for that is if you are in real trouble anyway and you think you are going to lose so you’ll stay in power as long as possible,” he toldThey suggested Ms Davison had made the decision due to specific personal reasons and, in the case of Ms Smith who was first elected in her Norwich North seat in 2009, suggested it was the natural time to change careers.
Lord Hayward agreed the Tories had a chance to turn things around if Mr Sunak could maintain and improve his personal poll ratings, which are better against Sir Keir as the Tories are against Labour. Lord Hayward said: “The Tories will have to have got themselves back into the 30s by then, they have to feel they are making progress stage-by-stage.”
