“Vote for me or it’s World War 3”

Oh God, What Now?

Rishi Sunak’s speech on Monday was one step short of giving the British public a very dreary ultimatum – vote Tory or else. But with Natalie Elphicke defecting, Nadhim Zahawi stepping down, and Dominic Cummings and Matt Goodwin wanting to create their own parties - can any message Sunak sends to the public give him a chance at the next election? Plus, Keir Starmer announced his plan to tackle immigration last week – what’s in it, and ultimately how does the UK feel about immigration right now?

• “It is very strange to make an apparently serious and scary speech and then to dilute all that by throwing in all this culture war stuff.” – Ros Taylor

• “The chaos of the content demonstrates how bad his team really is at politics.” – Hannah Fearn

• “I’m amazed more of them aren’t standing down, to be honest.” – Ros Taylor

• “I really hope the phrase ‘stop the boats’ disappears after this election.” – Hannah Fearn
