The Home Secretary said launching a challenge against Rishi Sunak’s leadership would be like jumping out of a plane without a parachute.
James Cleverly likened Tories considering a no-confidence vote in the Prime Minister to jumping out of a plane without a parachute
A drubbing in the mayoral and council elections could lead some Tories to view replacing Mr Sunak as leader as the only way to improve the party’s dire polling and avert a similar wipeout in a general election, but the Home Secretary told them not to “feed the psychodrama”. “I think those people who think that another leadership campaign, as truncated as it might be between now and the election, is anything other than a catastrophically bad idea – I don’t get it.”
Rishi Sunak could face fresh scheming from Tory MPs if his party suffers heavy losses at the local and mayoral elections “And we should have the discipline to stay focused on what we have achieved in government and what we’re planning to do next, rather than feed the psychodrama… It’s not how you do good government.”Mr Cleverly said he was not from Mr Sunak’s “political tribe” when he entered No 10 but that he had come to know him as “a very thoughtful, very clever, incredibly hard-working person”.
The Tories are expected to suffer heavy losses in a swathe of local votes next week but it is the potential loss of two Conservative mayoralties which could prove a flashpoint for Mr Sunak’s fortunes.
