The crushing loss of two seats in once-reliable Conservative areas. i.e. in Wellingborough, a constituency in Northamptonshire and in Kingswood, near Bristol, capped another dismal week for Sunak.
Economic data confirmed on Thursday that the country had fallen into recession at the end of last year, undermining one of the prime minister’s five core pledges – that he would recharge the country’s growth.
But Sunak is adamant he won't change course.
According to analysts, the scheming against Sunak is no more likely to go anywhere than it has during his previous leadership crises. However desperate the political straits of the Conservatives, they would find it hard, at this late stage, to replace their languishing prime minister with someone else.
One former minister said he was convinced Sunak would call a May election – and announce it shortly after next month’s Budget. An early poll, they said, would avoid challenges to his leadership and a drawn out, damaging race to replace him.
Already, Sunak was pressed to give up his role as leader of the Party as unease grows among Conservative MPs. But he has refused to step down.
The United Kingdom, like the United States are sinking ships.
Celtic drew 1-1 against Kilmarnock yesterday.
In the thirty-second minute, the Scottish champions found a rare moment of space inside the box and the unmarked Kyogo Furuhashi scored with a precise header.
The Killies again proved a thorn in Celtic's side as a stoppage-time equaliser prevented Celtic from moving three points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
This is another slip-up and Rangers can move two points clear in the Scottish Premiership if they win at St Johnstone today.
