Sunak - should be stay or should he go?

In this episode of our bite-sized political podcast, we delve into the recent turmoil within the Conservative Party over the leadership of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The discussion kicks off with a note on a bold call from senior Conservative Sir Simon Clarke for Sunak to step down amid disastrous approval ratings and discontent within his party over his plans for Rwanda deportation.

Clarke, the MP for Middlesbrough South, openly expressed his concern about the party's foreseeable electoral massacre under Sunak's leadership, forecasting possible dire consequences for the Party if it's led into an election under its current state. He also warned about the looming danger represented by Nigel Farage's probable return to the political scene.

Party insiders have swiftly responded to this comment with their own critical labels, sparking a deep existential crisis within the Conservative Party. Despite the internal disagreement and backlash, the argument still stands that Sunak's leadership appears to be leading the Conservatives to an anticipated electoral defeat. But is Sunak solely to blame? Or does the party's overall decline reflect deeper fractures within its structure and strategy?

The episode also examines why the conservatives with a small 'c' are pulling out their support for the big 'C' Conservatives, expressing their discontent over previous leadership and the current debacle. Does the perceived dissatisfaction amongst Conservative MPs signify a looming revolt within the party? As many foresee a loss of their jobs under a Sunak-led election, a sense of impending doom seemingly pervades.

Join us in this episode for an enlightening discussion on the state of the Conservative Party as it stands today, the crisis in its leadership, and the potential implications on its future.
