More Tory MPs will defect the longer Rishi Sunak clings onto Downing Street
“The enmity inside the Conservative Party, the dislike for each other is at such an intense level.”
Tim Montgomerie predicts more Tory MPs will either resign or defect before the general election.

Reason is good political attack lines. You have a former health secretary that a DR saying Tories have destroyed the NHS and anti boats Tory saying her party plan not working and labour has a better plan. If I was a voter I would say why would I voter conservative when their own people are leaving to labour when they have a better plan plus current Conservative Party in chaos. Just looking at the Conservative Party you can see it just needs to be put to pasture of leadership chaos… so many want to get rid of current PM but all contenders rather be leader after the election to have a career and not lead their party to biggest wipe out in history… if they changed leader again just proves the party is ungovernable mess.

So funny to hear these people try and frame a defection as somehow a bad thing for Kier Starmer. It actually demonstrates that she's quite politically savvy. She recognizes that the way to move forward and stay in office is by moving to the left! When you're far right, moving left makes you a moderate. And moderation is what the voters want. Maybe the Tories should follow her lead and start moving to the left? That's honestly the only thing they haven't tried at this point.
I have no time for any defectors but, Sunak needs to step down before Cons are wiped out.
