The Deltapoll survey showed support for the Conservatives has slumped by four points in the past week to just 23%, while Labour has gone up two points to 46%., another senior figure tipped as a contender for the Tory crown, this morning tried to play down the significance of the anti-Sunak plotting.“But we need to move away from scenario where one or two people can create all the news and 300 others can’t get a word in.
