Tory rebel Suella Braverman urges Rishi Sunak to change course after election blows

Rishi Sunak must change his political course to remain in power as there is no time to change Tory leader, Suella Braverman has said following a bruising set of local election results.
The senior Tory urged the Prime Minister to move to the right in response to the poll defeats, which saw a shock victory for Labour in the West Midlands mayoral contest on Saturday night.
Labour’s Richard Parker seized victory from outgoing Conservative mayor Andy Street by a mere 1,508 votes.

Forty five to be precise since Thatcherism set about destroying society and the economy in order to transfer wealth to the rich, its sole purpose.
