A large number of Tory MPs are fully expecting to lose their seats, even ones with large majorities. It’s simply hard to discipline MP’s when deselection is no longer an effective deterrant. As things get worse for the Tories, more of them may wonder what they have to lose by turning on Sunak.

What I don’t understand is who the hell they want to replace him. Penny Mordaunt?

@@meh23p The Tory membership would only accept Boris, but he's gone. Anybody who has the political capital within the party to maneuver Sunak out of power would be smart enough to not want the job in the first place. Sunak is trapped as the captain of this sinking ship. The only decision Sunak can make that has any importance is whether to call an early election or not.

MPs - more than one.

If no candidates for leadership (let's be honest Sunak wasn't even anybody's choice of leader if a semi-decent candidate was available) step forward, are the Tories required to call a General Election?

@@fba90130 Good question! As far as I know, that has never happened in British history and our constitutional order would be unequipped to deal with such a scenario. The King can dissolve parliament, but only at the request of the government. If Sunak was ousted, the party would have to find someone, anyone to step in. I'm sure there would be at least a few MPs within the party who would be dumb enough or believe it to be some kind of patriotic duty to run for leadership. The poor soul filling Sunak's shoes would almost certainly feel immense political pressure to call an election, but doing so during the obvious national scandal it would create would be electoral suicide. It'd essentially be a repeat of what happened at the aftermath of Lizz Truss. If Sunak is running a sinking ship, his replacement would be running one that's already on the sea floor.

I am starting to think that lasting longer than the lettuce might be becoming a proverb for politicians

Well Fishy rishi is currently on par for lasting as long as a potato. 🐟 Vs 🥔

Sure, lots of proverbs originate from colloquial sayings

"Never interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake."

Thats a saying, that matches many situations at the moment. USA or Germany for example. (Thats the reason why right wing in germany is very strong)

The only problem with that, is that every mistake cost the country more. Making more of a mees for the next government.

Party discipline was shattered because of Johnson and Brexit. Can't expect them to pick up the pieces if members keep stepping on it.

Party discipline was already poor well before then. Cameron only held the referendum in an attempt to out-flank the Tory Eurosceptics and restore party discipline, and the right wing of the Party refused to endorse May's Brexit deal, and eventually ousted her in favour of somebody they knew to be a liar and an incompetent but who would be compliant. For the record, it is not the Tory party members who are showing indiscipline, but their MPs. The likes of Rees-Mogg and the ERG.

Promising integrity, professionalism and accountability. Delivering corruption, incompetence and opacity.

👍

Problem with Sunak is twofold, he has no mandate from the public, his whole shtick is being perceived as being more competent than the last two disasters of a PM we had but has not really done anything to benefit the public with the majority he has inherited hence "inaction-man". The second is that the Tories as a whole have not delivered any tangible benefit in their 13 years of stewardship that they can tout, in fact reality is much worse. Trade, public services, infrastructure, crime, illegal immigration, corruption, housing, taxation, government debt, living standards etc etc have gotten worst under them and its clear they have no plan or they would have legislated to remedy this (majority government). As time passes more of the public are waking up to the fact that Sunak and his party only offer empty promises and worthless platitudes.

The United Kingdom does not have a presidential system, Sunak came to power according to the current rules

No mandate from the public! You need to look at the history of UK prime ministers. We have a party political democracy, more than HALF of our PMs got the job during a parliament - stop whinging.

@@slavianalbanovich9025 Absolutely. As did Winston Churchill - if my memory/history is correct.

Excellent summation.

@@slavianalbanovich9025 Which are terrible. Other nations without presidential systems have provisions to automatically activate procedures to call for a legislative election if the PM resigns. Like Spain. Which is a monarchy, with a clearly parliamentarian system, but the burden of the misdeeds of the government fall on the president of the government, and if they resign or lose confidence of parliament, an election is called.

Because they made everyone’s lives miserable? High bills, high costs and allowed it to happen. They don’t serve the best interest of the public. They only serve their wealthy friends.

I don't really see how labour wouldn't have found themselves in this exact same position - inflation, population collapse and wobbly pensions are a problem in all the developed world outside the US right now. "Money printer went brrrrrr" during COVID and these are the consequences. Unless Labour was going to dismiss COVID as the sniffles and not worth kamikaze'ing the economy over, we would have wound up in this situation all the same, had they been in power.

Since Thatcher they have NEVER served the public's interest. In fact the saying "Private wealth and public squalor" best fits the picture for the last 40 years.

My heartfelt congratulations to the Tories for this latest scandal. Unsafe schools is one of the few topics sure to make people left, right and centre hate you with a passion. Even in my country, where schools are in a very sad state, structures are, barring a strong earthquake (the goddess forbid), statically safe. Really, this effort on the part of the UK to achieve and worsen Italy's ways of doing things should stop...

There should be a rule that a ruling party can only switch leader once during a term - with exceptions for death or serious illness - else automatically triggered GE. Replacing Sunak - with who? - would achieve nothing for either the public or the Tories. The fact that they are out of options is reason enough they should call a GE sooner rather than later.

Yeah and be left with Liz Truss for 3 years no thanks 😂😂

@@morenauer and be sure to check if they are plastic

If they seriously start another leadership election, I would hope that Sunak would have enough decency (or spite) to call for a general election

As long as I can remember (so late 1970s), there have been reasons to vote for pretty much all the main Uk political parties (ignoring single issue parties like ukip) at an election - and also reasons not to vote for them. So the party with the best ratio of the 2 would get the vote. Current Conservative Party is the only one I can think of where I can see no reasons to vote for them. Utterly incompetent at pretty much every area of running the country.

The UK seems to be in such a dire financial situation right now that it doesn't matter if Sunak or Starmer are elected. The country is awash with poverty, sewage strewn water systems, mammoth NHS backlogs, over population, too few homes, and a social service system in tatters. MPs will have every single conversation to be had except for true wealth distribution. One extra billionaire that the UK makes results in 100,000 more people sinking into poverty (I've just completely made this stat up but it feels like it's true).

Sunak's only saving grace is that he has managed to appear less clumsy, stupid, inconsiderate, and deceitful than the two PMs who preceded him, and this appearance is what's holding the facade together.

yeah his best quality is basically just appearing vaguely professional.

Okay, here's the thing though: Deciding "whether it's worth it" might be a relevant question for the party, but not only negates any questions about actual content of their policies, but also leaves out the people they are supposed to represent. This is exactly why politics in general are becoming more and more frustrating for anyone not involved in it.

Being Tory leader is a poisoned chalice at this point.

Being Tory is a poisoned chalice at this point

Not even sure it's a chalice - more a styrofoam cup

RAAC was known about in the 1980s, not just August. It was discovered many post-war council houses had been constructed with foamed concrete, where alumina is added to lime and cement. The lime and alumina react, creating bubbles and hence lightweight concrete. However over time, there become too many bubbles . thousands of homes were declared defective and demolished, eg Orlit. It is puerile to suggest therefore that no-one in the political class was aware of the dangers of foamed concrete in schools and hospitals when they were aware of the dangers of foamed concrete in housing. That is truly as pathetic as it is laughable. Yes, Sunak has been passed the parcel with this 40 year problem but he has unfortunately been caught holding the parcel while knowing about it and refusing to spend money repairing it. This is not a good look. Frankly all parties are culpable to varying degrees, but we need action not finger pointing. He wants to be seen as a fixer, fixing the economy etc yet with unsafe public buildings, he is seen as sitting on his hands to the electorate.

He's the face of a very corrupt and inept government. It's no wonder he's hated😮

Looks like the system is functioning as intended judging by those in the rulling party identify closely with Sunak which is they have very little in common with the people they represent.

My delight at the downfall and collapse of the Tory party is tempered only by the prospect of an incoming Labour government.

@@stellajayne do you think re-entering the EU will be easy, or even possible at this time?

​@@WebToolkitas much as I would love that. It won't happen for a few decades at least.

Yet, Sunak clings desperately to power , filling his family treasure chest, and wont give the British electorate a choice.

The problem with 'ousting yet another Tory Leader' is that you first have to find a 'Tory Leader'. All that can be said about the CONgang with any certainty is that there is not one competent member of the 'government'.

Penny Mordaunt is the person i think they should have elected last year instead of Truss. She is the one they all hide behind when things get tough.

@@russellharris5314not really, if sunak had gotten in first time round he would’ve improved polling

​@@russellharris5314she cracks shit jokes though.

@@Deadlife111 sunak has the strength of wet spaghetti, he hasn't controlled anything since he became PM, he just isn't facing that many challenges from his own party because his own team have scored so many own goals that they have given up.

She has been stoic defending utter incompetence shown by the people around her even when she disagrees with her own argument. Her ability so far has only been on display protecting others on her team, it would be good to know what she actually stands for herself

Sunak was the architect of this financial crisis with that horrible and disastrous FURLOUGH scheme. He introduced that scheme for personal gains and now we are seeing the consequences of that!!!

Strictly speaking the Civil Service had already devised the Furlough scheme before Sunak became Chancellor. He did have to sign it off for it to go ahead.

Because he’s looking after his mega rich friends , and he’s not hiding it , that’s how arrogant he is and his enterage.

Private wealth and public squalor is their Tory moto.

From the Times Saturday 16th September 2023 “Rishi Sunak is ready to phase out petrol and diesel cars on a strict timeframe despite pressure from Conservative MPs to scale down net-zero plans. A forced transition to electric cars is due to be set out within weeks as the prime minister accepts that changing course would be damaging to industry.” I think the Tory MP's will have difficulty defending Sunak's policy at the upcoming election. Prime Minister Sunak who thinks using a helicopter or private jet is no worse than public transport!

How the Tories even poll 1% is beyond me.

One word for the decline: INCOMPETENCE

isnt it weird that Eaton, Harrow & Marlborough to name just a few public schools dont have a RAAC problem ? nothing to do with rich MPS sending their children to these elitist establishments ? the jam hit the nail on the head in their song "Eaton rifles" with the line "What chance have you got against a tie and a crest"

To be honest, I'm hoping he sticks around as long as possible. Him and his non-dom wife's and their tax affairs do nothing to help the Tory party. We know what they've done, and they're just a huge negative on his personal credibility. Please, stay in for as long as you can, that way the people will change this joke of a government ASAP!

It's gotten to the point now that even world leaders across the globe recognise that Sir Kier Starmer is the next PM, so much so the likes of Macron have invited him to talk policy. Now, it's not unusual to see leaders of the opposition be invited, but never to talk actual policy. This is as blatant as it could politically get to say that they expect to no longer be working with the UK's Conservative party in the very near future. It must be incredibly embarrassing for Sunak personally as well. At this point, he will win a VoNC quite easily if one gets called, but it would only weaken him further to the point that he wont be able to get anything done politically. He would be wise to call an election early before facing a VoNC if he wanted to keep his reputation in SOME resemblance.

If only changing Brexit point of view is as common as changing leaders of this country for past 13 years

It is a foregone that the British public will send a message right across the political spectrum by voting for a totally different alternative because they know it Comes to something when worse is the only other alternative. Ousting Sunak will not prolong the inevitable of the Tories being kicked out at the next GE, but another person to attempt to lead them there will better cushion the blow.

the fact he was beaten by Truss has to be a bit worrying, the membership of the party would neverr vote for sunak so they had to get him in by another route against their own rules

Every iteration of a Tory govt from the coalition to today has presided over a country dropping deeper and deeper into chaos and despair. They have failed ordinary people (non multi millionaires) on every facet of government. They need to go asap and any change of leadership should be now via a GE. The only concern after that is any new government will inherit such a mess that I can’t see how it can be resolved at the pace the electorate would want.

Sunak's one and only job since her left banking in the city has always been as a low-key senior BD rep for Infosys. Then, he splits his time for this with his other role which is working for free against HMRC for both he and his wife. Everything else, including the British people, is but an afterthought for him - recalled for no longer than a second each time he passes a stool and hits flush.

the conservative are simply done, just call an election at this point

The real question is whether there are 15% of total headbangers in the Tory party who are so fixated on their own agenda that it's more important to them than being in government or the future of the party. I rather suspect that there are.

The sooner he's out the better,but the problem is,who's gonna replace him 😢

This weakness with concrete cannot be understated. It will naturally carbonise over time with expose to air losing its strength. England had a huge spate of post war reconstruction all designed with a 60 year design life to BS8110. The 1960's to 2020's is 60 years so all these structures need consideration structurally. Many, many defects were present in concrete constructions 1930's-1980's (lol remember they thought Asbestos was a good idea and even used its powererised form on film sets) and frankly, many structures need remedial measures that would cost more than the rebuild. The issue is it takes 2 years to design and build and furnish a school, longer for other infrastructure like hospitals, rail bridges and water treatment facilities. What do people do without those services in the mean time? The country has too much aging infrastructure and rather than an expected population leveling out or decline, there are more people than ever trying to use systems that were built in the 1960's/ 1970's. We simply cant afford to turn the infrastructre off to repair it, nor to build new to take its place running a 'double system'. (ie build a school on a new patch while the old one carries on before being torn down once the new one is fully functional.) That isnt to mention the skills or labour crisis that the industry is having too. The nation is sleepwalking into total infrastructure collapse. Source, Structural Engineer.

Thanks, with all the political game playing about the topic nobody on the news has actually explained what causes the issues.

Going by the choices the Tory MPs and Tory membership have made or influenced in the last 3 leadership elections, I don't know who in their right mind would think they'd elect someone even remotely competent. I think it doesn't get much better than Sunak, and I'm in no way saying he's been doing a good job.

Just when we've finally got a taste of some sort of stability, some Conservative MPs want to oust the leader. If they do that, I expect Labour's lead to grow even more. We want *strong and stable leadership* ;)

Where is it? We, in the UK, are badly served by politicians, which ever side of the fence you look at. Currently I wouldn't vote for any of them. Time for a clean sweep of all of them.

@@bertiesworld Oh yea, everything is shit, but at least I feel like it's stable manure. Inflation is high, but I don't expect it to jump much higher. Rent is very expensive, but the rate at which it's increasing in price seems stable, and political scandals aren't too egregious now. Things aren't great, but I could really do without another leadership contest and another change in direction only for there to be an election next year that will change everything anyway

I don’t get why Sunak’s polling is not -100% yet. There’s nothing redeemable!!

It does seem ironic to me that the last of the Tory PM’s is actually the most competent and has just been left holding the bag for the disasters who came before, not a Tory voter but I think Sunak has done an ok job compared to the rest of them

We need politicians with a backbone but there there don't seem to be any we can vote for

A sack full of money bends the back.

I think the reason is more and more people are getting their truths from social media rather than believe what they are told by right wing newspapers/media.

More than three changes of party leaders during a single term should automatically trigger a general election.

To be fair one was just a head of lettuce with a mouth.

The fact that the most powerful person in person can be installed into power is probably a huge reason why shit like this keeps happening. Just saying.

Of course there is no talk of if the fresh hold has been reached, or how close it is, because if there was 53+ letters now, it does not mean anything, for the next 9-10 days. It's as of the 25th of October, is when it starts to count, as Sunak would have been leader for one year, which is the amount of time afforded to a leader by the 1922 committee.

It is dropping because of the crumbling concrete in schools over 130 had to be closed. The government didn't care for years to access the risk and now only rushed to close them.

I wonder who has been in charge since 2010 for everything to be crumbling and the rivers and sea floating in Sewage.

Big business. And they only care about shareholders

Rishi Sunak is a walking, breathing, personifiication of Big Business. If a corporation could be distilled down into a human like person. It would be him.

TBH, I'm fairly sure the Tories are just happy to be still on the ship, knowing its sinking and that they're going to enjoy being in power whilst it lasts as in all honesty, no one in their right mind expects them to stay beyond next year.

Sunak's got the maturity of a "year four" primary school student with his wonderful ability to make a list of wishful thinking.

The problem at this point isn't Sunak, I think he is just a the last in the long list of conservative PM's that has taken the helm of a sinking ship, there is no clear vision in the Conservative Party and its clear to say that even the conservative party members have little confidence in the party anymore and this is amplified in the general population. Labour has taken this and run with it, the only issue is that Labour is becoming too much like conservative light with no real announced policies regarding Brexit (So they don't alienate the leave voters) and with the current stance of the current Labour Mayor of London and the current Labour Welsh Assembly is making me lean into thinking that the issue with politics today is the duopoly of Labour and Conservatives, we need a 3rd party to come in and really get politics working for the people again, The majority didn't vote for an expanded ULEZ zone in London or the 20MPH limit in Wales but they did it anyway because they believe that no matter what they do people will still vote them in because the Conservative Party has practically collapsed onto its arse. We need a national 3rd party to come in and remind everyone that they are in power for one reason only, to ensure that the majority of the country agrees with the direction and management of the country!

Sunak popularity is dropping because the party is divided behind him. If they were to pull together and work for Sunak, they might just scrape in. However, the more it looks like they'll lose the next general election, the more they're building their own defences and throwing the government to the wolves. At the moment, Sunak is having to suck up to various factions in his own party which is preventing him from concentrating on his own position. It would be a disaster to have a leadership contest at this stage ... to the party. So, they want Rishi to jump rather than they push him. Then they can look 'loyal' to the party in Opposition and re-build their place at the banquet table.

It’d be so funny is the accidentally triggered a leadership election

It's just rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic at this point.

Don't you mean to say 'It would be funny if another Tory leadership election was triggered'?; yes it would, it would reinforce for the umpteenth time that the Tories are a farce. Someone should use the spectacular failures of the Tories since 2010 for a new British movie.

​@@CravingBeerHoly shit hahahaha I'm stealing this phrase.

Similar to a surprise of Vivik Ramswany as the first Indian American president running for the GOP. In that case I could see that out of the blue a Korean descendent candidate running for PM, could get into hot water with Japan at the ICJ. To this I think who replaces Sunak will be someone from Korean ancestry with his last name probably Kim yet a Kim as British PM would be like the British version of Ronald Reagan but with Korea, willing to do anything even to piss off the Japanese government, that write a letter of documentation for the ICJ to oppose Japan over the Liancourt Rocks. The future PM of the UK adding Korea into the mix that someone born in Korea if unified could take a flight from Seoul to London without a passport all to going into documentation that Liancourt becomes another Falkland situation but instead of Argentina it becomes Japan, to probably the new Falkland War will be with Japan instead of Argentina. It is all complex because what will be after Sunak will be an Asian man with the Kim surname will be a British PM of Korean ancestry to unify Korea and add Liancourt into the mix to treat Japan as it where Argentina and Liancourt becomes the new Falklands. To say it the next PM will be British Korean, and yet better off for a certain country not to get into the Liancourt mess that could form BFFs between Japan and Argentina giving Argentina going against Korea over the Liancourt Rocks.

The word “consequence” exist for a reason, especially for the previous two.

The fact of the matter is this is expected and good news for politicians, because it means the public haven’t woken up to the fact they’re all in this together, it’s the same old theatre and empty promises, but the main thing is another general election will take place , so they all keep their jobs , their salaries and allowances, courtesy of the taxpayers, and we’ll have another five years of exactly the same , in government or opposition it makes no difference to them, they’re well looked after either way .

Why is Sunak’s Polling Getting Worse/Dropping Further? Well, in one of the first interviews he did when he became prime minister, he mentioned about showing compassion to those in need. This uncannily coincided with another right-wing leader's ideals back in 1939 Germany, which resulted in millions of deaths of "those in need" as a result of "compassion."

As a foreigner, even I can see recent British political situation seems like dumpster fire at best. I don't think anyone would be able to succeed in his position.

As an American, it is amazing to me that Boris Johnson has been the most competent British Prime Minister of the last 13 years.

He wasn’t. The most competent would be David Cameron, and that’s saying something.

We need an English PM and Members who care for the Cpuntry.

I am not a Brit, but I moved from the UK to Germany because of Brexit. That topic aside, I personally don’t have anything against the PM or the Party, it’s the policies that they put out and their mindset puts me off. The fact that they think they can fix the existing problems without actually acknowledging the problems. Politicians don’t live like normal people, they don’t have the slightest idea when people cannot pay their mortgage, can’t afford food, whilst being overworked. Until they acknowledge that people are on the edge of losing their home, or children are going hungry to bed, they won’t be able to fix anything. The fact that Sunak himself often being overly optimistic is also a problem. That smile he put on his face while the rest of the people are suffering is rather cunning, it creeps me out sometimes to be honest. But that’s just my personal opinion.

Sunnak is done for because nobody voted for him. As a former Conservative member, I voted for Truss. She slashed taxes(as she said she would)and people lost their minds. Raja Sunnak was the parties choice, not the members choice. He's proven himself to be disliked by all sides. I hope they lose the election.

Starmer seems to be following the "never interrupt your opponent when he's making a mistake" strategy.

After 13 years of austerity - cost of living outstripping pay - housing crisis - NHS waiting lists - mortgage rates soared - through all this 10 & 11 Downing Street are like offshore tax havens for recent occupants. Out of touch,

The problem isn't Sunak, but the fact that his wife hasn't bought shares in companies which would make a difference to the lives of ordinary citizens and they themselves don't use public services (NHS, public transport, state school education etc.) ...

In an parliamentary democracy like Britain the leader of the victorious party gets to be the PM. Sunak was elected unanimously by the Tories. There's nothing wrong or unethical about that. Sunak is doing a fantastic job so far

The UK needs a general election, now!

My only fear is that there might actually still be a lot of old people supporting the government, it's just that they don't that YouGov exists but they are still going to vote next year because they have nothing much to do during the day, whereas young people may be focusing on their careers and forget to vote.

I believe for this reason, the vote is going to be a lot closer than the polls make it out to be

26% according to the polls. So just over one in four which is bizarrely high. But yes I expect it will be tight as Starmer is going to have to decide on some policies which are fully and independently costed (ideally) and then they will need to stand up to media scrutiny.

Of all the ministers and all the deputies, entire congregation of obedient fools they mistakenly sent the one good man. For God sakes , Borris. You were the one who mattered the most.

His job to cling onto power as long as possible !

Please do videos discussing the Liberal democrats plans to win. Love their party

I couldn’t imagine the conservatives electing another pm without an election

Good. Get this lot of liars and corrupt politicians out. I don’t even like to call them politicians. They are bandits.

he tories have always done this, just less blatant to many.

They are criminals and should be made to pay for the damage they've done to the country.

Are y talking about labour. For gods sake itube don't be mostly left wing

If Sunak gets kicked out prematurely, we as the public really deserve an election a lot sooner than the next general election in late 2024

Don’t worry. The great Indian community in the UK will reappoint him as PM.

We need and deserve a general election now, not next year!

I don’t think there’s one prime minister in the U.K that has ever polled well over the last decade

4:23 The more times you watch The funnier it gets

the UK PM is working hard to enrich his wife and father in law... nobody told him he need to benefit the UK, too!

And keir is not rich

​@@tenniskinsella7768they are the same. One a bit whiter

It fathoms me how tory mps believe kicking out another party leader will improve their poll numbers

How could anyone, remotely Sane, could even contemplate voting for the anti-British labour party?

The UK suddenly found itself with a PM who was unelected, but also with a Hindu PM who, as in all Indian politics, represents his own very wealthy caste. The is a far cry from the 'Sunny uplands ' false promise of Brexit which got Boris into office (Despite him hiding before the election).

Because nothing of what they're doing is working and the economy is worse every week. A bit like here in Japan, but here no one has the gall to stand up to the government or the knowledge to do better, in a situation in which interest rates can't be raised lest you want to immediately bankrupt the nation... Oh, dammit, we're screwed.

"Nothing" is precisely what they're doing

It was clear from the start he was selected to get an FTA with India, making it popular domestically in India.

Clearly it is the party and policies which have failed not the individual leaders

How does Truss fit into that theory ?

They literally lead the party and make the policies Weird excuse to make

They have all failed. The party, the policies and the leaders...

its both. rishi is unpopular because he is syphoning billions of tax to his father in law and wife.

@@Powl_J the ideology doesn't change

All Sunak has to do is to walk into paliment with a vest labeled "Snap Elections" wired to a button and just dare them to try to replace him.

I'm conservative, been conservative all my life - and not living in the UK. The torys have fucked up, been in power for to long and the crazy right in the conservative party have had to much to say. The great thing about a democracy is that when somebody fcuks up, you can change the leadership. And I hope they do it. I know personally a couple of tory MP's (one hardcore brexit, one moderat) (From the old international youth party days), and have told them, that they fucked up..... and now it's time for opposition and let they other side clean up the mess they left behind...

As with your video regarding the collapse of support for the SNP, so to with the Tories, after 13 years in power it would be hard put for any leader to be able to convince the public that the Tories have anything new and relevant to say. The Tories will in all likelihood be back, but right now it is time for them to spend a period in the wilderness to refresh themselves while Labour pick up the baton for some period of time.

Agree. This needs to happen.

So what happens if they topple Sunak and nobody steps forward as a candidate to replace him? Where does that leave the Tories? Are they then required to call a General Election? Who's going to helm the Tory party going into such an Election? At this point beating up Sunak is literally flogging a dead horse.
