Rishi Sunak has been dealt a fresh blow as one of his aides quit and warned of “at least a decade of Labour rule”.
Will Dry, who was the Prime Minister’s pollster, walked out amid concern over the direction of the Government.
He also claimed the Conservative Party “essentially won’t exist by Christmas” if Nigel Farage returns to frontline politics.
In his resignation letter, Mr Dry wrote: “Everyone in this country can see just how colossal the challenges we face are.
“Sadly, it became clear to me we weren’t providing the bold, decisive action required to overcome those challenges. You cannot dent without internalising just how fundamentally broken our political system is.
“I further concluded, again sorrowfully, that the Conservatives are heading for the most almighty of defeats.
“Be in no doubt: we are heading for the most almighty of defeats.
“Be in no doubt: we are on course for at least a decade of Labour rule.
“And if Farage comes back, the Conservative Party essentially won’t exist by Christmas.”
This is a breaking story. More to follow.
