Bitter Tory infighting continues amid ‘bent’ race to replace Rishi Sunak as leader
Shadow Home Secretary James Cleverly

JAMES CLEVERLY called for a “post mortem” into the Tory election rout as “bitter infighting” over replacing Rishi Sunak as leader continued today.

The shadow home secretary’s comments came as an MP accused the committee that sets the rules for the leadership contest of being “bent.”

Suella Braverman also called Reform an “existential threat” to the party and Kemi Badenoch reportedly used Mr Sunak’s first shadow cabinet meeting to criticise his campaign and Ms Braverman.
