RISHI SUNAK bears ultimate responsibility for the Tory Party being mired in chaos, Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said today as an opinion poll indicated a 30-point lead for Labour.
The Tory peer admitted that his party colleagues are “fighting each other like rats in a sack” after a dismal set of local election results a week ago.
However, Lord Houchen, said there was general disaffection with politics among voters, rather than positive support for Labour, so the Conservatives still have a chance to turn things around.
