Unfortunately for them, a lack of cohesion in the crowd made it appear that the opportunity would slip through their fingers.

Details are still emerging, but this is what we know so far.

Sunak's Director of Communications Quits.
Rishi Sunak's Director of Communications Amber de Botton has quit. Ms. de Botton has only served a year in the job. De Botton has quit as next year's general election looms large.

If the government's poll ratings remain dire Sunak will probably hold out until the last minute. In this case, it could well be January 2025.
