📊 Here's two observations about the local #elections results:

  1. The results have been pretty dismal for the Conservatives, with some limited exceptions, pointing the way to a #Labour victory at the general #election

  2. Speaking to #Conservative MPs, advisers and officials, any threat to #RishiSunak's leadership appears to be fading fast

To some, that's a paradox. The results so far indicate that the #Tories are heading for defeat under Mr #Sunak's leadership

@JSharp1436 With regards to number 2, nobody wants the job where they’ll be blamed for not turning things around in time for the general election and then be booted out afterwards. Better to leave Sunak in place now to take the blame, then replace him afterwards.

I think you're completely right with that point. That's probably the only thing keeping him in power.
