…a one issue election - immigration - with Braverman in charge. Problem with that is ‘legal immigration’ has trebled under her watch. Whilst trying to stop the boats, she’s left the door wide open for far more immigrants to come in legally.

Yeah, but it was only the lefty, activist lawyers, and pesky unelected woke judges who stopped her plans to protect our borders.

The Tory campaign material writes itself, these days.
 
….i don’t think they’ve got any excuses for 600,000 legal immigrants.

Don’t think they’ll need any. Just scream “we’re gonna stop the boats” and that’s enough to get a large chunk of the electorate onside.

There’s long been a rift in government between Sunak who understands the economic need for legal migration in the Brexit aftermath, and his Home Secretaries who have been desperate to close the door on most legal migration,

….i can’t see them winning any debate.

They might understand the ‘economic need’ but that’s largely because there are millions in this country unable to work because they’re on NHS waiting lists.

i can’t see a battlefield where they’ll have enough to win a massive number of voters.

Suspect you’re right, but a final roll of the dice seems likely.
 
Cameron, May, Boris all managed to keep the party from imploding. Truss wasn't there long enough to do much of anything other than shoot herself in both feet some feat as it happens. Sunak doesn't appear to have the first clue about politics or party management.
I'd say Cameron tried to keep the party from imploding by appeasing the far right element with a Brexit vote. Those that have followed have done nothing but lash knives into each other's backs and further destabilise their party.
 
Where have these soothsayers been the last four years ? I hate them, I hate them all.

A senior Tory MP has told the BBC that "lots of MPs are concerned about their seats and the polls".

They said MPs are "rapidly forming the view the current management is not performing and will not deliver an election win”.

"The danger is we get a confidence vote by accident because if one MP says 'I’m putting my letter [of no confidence] in' others do too," they added.

Sheer self preservation, no thought at all to their duty to the public
 
Two things on this. Right-wing Tory is a massive tautology in this iteration of them. Secondly, if she’s so proud of him why doesn’t she resign too?

Andrea Jenkyns isn't a minister so has nothing to resign from.

But she is just repeating what she's been banging on about for weeks, she's very open about wanting Sunak gone and last I heard wanted Priti Patel to put herself forward in the aftermath.

She could resign from the party if she cared that much. Run as an independent. She obviously won’t do as she was just grandstanding
