'Rishi doesn't have it in him': Gloomy Tories fear PM is taking them to election defeat 🗣️ “He is a manager not a leader”, and could be taking it and the nation into “managed decline” if he doesn’t face up to the rebels
“It’s politics, rebellions happen all the time,” the Tory source said. “Which governments have ever got absolutely everything they wanted through Parliament with no complaints from their backbenches?The rebellions have also triggered a blame game among loyal, long-serving MPs, who still believe the party can win at the next election, or at least force a hung parliament.
They agreed with Jacob Rees-Mogg, in thinking that the rebels were acting in the mistaken belief that it would improve their personal electoral prospects. “People don’t trust Labour to run the Government but they want a change. Rishi needs time to build the brand up.”One MP said Mr Gove was “seen as a snake” by colleagues and Mr Tugendhat was “a useful idiot”.
“If you are just attacking your opponent all it does is draw attention to the fact you have nothing to show for what you are doing,” they said.
