    The original Conservative defensive strategy to protect their core vote against Reform, was using Sunak in a tactical presidential style campaign. It appears to be blown having rolled Badenoch out today, undoubtedly in an effort to prevent further haemorrhaging of voters to Reform. Rachel Sylvester’s analysis of the situation that they are now focusing solely on damage limitation, must indicate the Conservative focus group and polling feedback must be poor. This afternoon could be critical given the expected Reform announcement and YouGov MRP.
