Aides were pleased with Rishi Sunak's last debate performance, but his road is running out
Aides were pleased with Rishi Sunak's last debate performance, but his road is running out, Rishi Sunak pleaded with the country not to “surrender” themselves to a Labour government and the supposed tax rises that will follow.
“It’s no wonder that Labour only wanted to do two of these while we wanted as many as possible,” a senior Tory source said. “Voters will have come away thinking that they don’t know what Starmer actually wants to do in office, whereas Rishi very clearly has ideas.
“There’s obviously a lot of voters who are undecided and there’s every chance they could break for the Tories. The question is, can we actually get them to leave their house and put an X in the box on 4 July?” “There’s no massive rush to go and vote for Labour, it’s sort of a reluctant vote. It’s clear that a lot of people are pissed off with us, but a lot of people are pissed off but fear Labour more so they say they’ll vote Conservative.”
Talks between Labour figures and the civil servants have been continuing for some time as Whitehall prepares for a potential change of government, with Starmer and his top team expected to be thrust straight into foreign diplomacy from the get go.The moment will immediately give the Labour leader a much-needed opportunity to show he is prime ministerial and statesman-like, rubbing shoulders with world leaders.
In particular, the tight spending regime that he has allowed himself is prompting fears that the public could soon turn against the new Labour government if the “change” that has been promised does not come about soon enough.
