Tory MP Sir Simon Clarke has blasted Rishi Sunak’s “uninspiring leadership” as the key obstacle to the Tories’ inability to recover in the polls.
The key ally of Mr Sunak’s predecessor Liz Truss launched a blistering attack on the PM by referring to him as going “from asset to an anchor”.
Writing in a newspaper tonight, Sir Simon said: “It is now beyond doubt that whilst the Prime Minister is far from solely responsible for our present predicament, his uninspiring leadership is the main obstacle to our recovery.
“Rishi Sunak has sadly gone from asset to anchor. He lags Keir Starmer — himself no Tony Blair — by double digits on the ‘Best Prime Minister’ metric.”
