Conservatives' Election Debacle: Sunak's Struggle for Control

Polling expert Sir John Curtice warns that Rishi Sunak's Conservatives could face their worst general election result ever, potentially winning as few as 130 seats. Divisions within the party over immigration are exacerbating the situation, with Tory MPs opposing the Prime Minister's Rwanda bill "playing with fire." Despite attempts to reset his premiership, including policy changes and set-piece political events, the Tories have failed to improve their poll numbers. If current voting patterns continue, the Conservatives may struggle to win more than 200 seats. The public appears to have "stopped listening" to the party, and recent focus on immigration risks further division within the party.
