The Prime Minister moved to soothe reports of Tory infighting by yesterday stating he is confident of winning the next election.

A YouGov survey last week suggested the vast majority of Britons feel Mr Sunak is failing on his five key pledges – to halve inflation, grow the economy, reduce national debt, cut NHS waiting lists and tackle illegal immigration.
