that local activists in his Lancashire constituency were “quite cross about the behaviour of MPs towards leaders of the Conservative Party”.
He added: “Starting off with the insanity of the defenestration of Boris Johnson, who is the best collateral asset that the Conservative Party has had for 100 years. Then going on to members pretty overwhelmingly selecting Liz Truss, really showing that the policies of low tax – the core Conservative policies – are still popular with our members. And then the feeling that colleagues in Parliament moved against Liz Truss.
Backbenchers are also growing increasingly concerned at the inability of ministers to stop the small boats crossing the Channel carrying would-be refugees, many of whom have come from safe countries such as Albania. Allies of Mr Sunak say he is right to focus on controlling inflation and the public finances, and insist the small boats crisis is one of his top priorities.
