Tory election defeat: Sunak must ‘resign to the idea that he will lose the General election’

“People are voting against the Conservatives wherever they can.”

The motivating force for British voters is an ‘antipathy to the Conservatives,’ leading to major wins for Labour and the Lib Dems, says Danny Finkelstein.

Call a general election and get them out

This was a referendum on suella braverman. The people have spoken.

As an immigrant, I love this nation. Just when you've given up, the British people time and time again show that no amount of race batting will win them over. If the Tories can't even win in their own backyard, London will wipe them of the electoral map. It's been a good day today! #GreatBritain

Nice to hear Finklestein advise that Sunak should just try and do the best he can for the country, rather than play out strategies that may help win the election. But how depressing that such advice should be necessary. That's. What. Governments. Should. Do. That's what they're for.

Oh dear, I'll pray for you on my way to the food bank, Mr Sunak, God bless you master.

What did the Tories expect? The Tories have the current job of running the country but refuse to do so. If you hire someone to do a job and they refuse then you fire them.

I honestly think it’s like “the Michael Portillo” situation the majority will vote for anyone except Tory !!!! #get the Tory

[markwalker]

Sunak needs to do what’s honourable and better for the UK . Call a general election now and allow the people to decide . They are damaging the nation with everyday they remain .

Revolving door. It's embarrassing the U.K. does this.
