The Prime Minister and Chancellor are braced for continued fallout after the weekend's local election results
Rishi Sunak has conceded the Conservatives may not win the next general election , as Tory rebels warned him to change his political course after defeats in the local polls.
Mr Sunak pointed to Sky News analysis of the local election results which suggested Labour would be the largest party in a hung Parliament, though voters in national polls tend to to behave differently, with fewer of them opting for smaller parties. "The country doesn't need more political horse trading, but action. We are the only party that has a plan to deliver on the priorities of the people."
Among the measures Ms Braverman has urged the Prime Minister to adopt to win back voters are further tax cuts and a cap on legal migration. Damian Green, chairman of the One Nation Group of Tory moderates, made a similar plea on the BBC's Westminster Hour. Pat McFadden, the party's national campaign co-ordinator, said: "Our aim is to win a majority, to govern, to meet the mood for change, and we're not planning any alliances or pacts with anyone."
