Despite all of the pledges, relaunches and policy announcements, the Tories find themselves pretty much where they were when Sunak took over from12 months ago - miles behind Labour in the polls and without a clear, coherent strategy for turning things around before the next election.
One senior Tory source said: “Sunak inherited a toxic and fractured party in which he was not the first preference for the job. He spent a large amount of the last 12 months not saying much and then suddenly woke up before conference and decided to become presidential. Another senior Tory said: “He will have to go to the country sooner rather than later as we just risk further mistakes and a total wipeout. If he holds out until January 2025 then I’m leaving the country as I can’t imagine a more miserable existence than an election campaign across Christmas and new year.”
“There’s no feeling abroad in the party that there’s going to be a move against him,” one minister said.“From reading the Tory WhatsApp groups and talking to colleagues, everybody appreciates that now is the time to put our shoulders to the wheel and stick together.”
