Caption: Britain’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak campaigns on a farm near Barnstaple on Tuesday. Insiders say resources are being diverted to shore up ‘safe’ seats Tory insiders have suggested bleak polling and a ‘breakdown in central authority’ is leading to an ‘every man for himself’ strategy as scant resources are diverted from marginal constituencies to shore up heartland seats once considered ‘safe’.
They also questioned why early in the campaign resources had been expended on “less viable seats” including those held by senior Labour figures. They said: “We were never going to win in those seats… we shouldn’t have been there anyway”. They added that this election would be “difficult for any first time campaigner” as “it just feels like everyone is just having to work much, much harder.”
