If Rishi Sunak is so keen to launch the Conservatives 2024 local election campaign, then why didn’t he just take a deep breath and call a general election too? The sad fact of the matter is that his government is split down the middle on everything from Brexit to the environment.
Not a day goes by without one of his own party members jumping ship to Reform UK. And as Rishi lectures us all about saving money, the first £5,000 council tax bill is about to land on some unsuspecting person’s doormat within days.
Add to this the behaviour of former Tory MP Lee Anderson, Tory donor Frank Hester, and new allegations now regarding Steve Barclay, and the message is clear. It’s time for change and a fresh start for Britain under Labour and Sir Keir Starmer.
