Rishi Sunak has said he will remain as leader until the process to elect his successor has been agreed. But with the 1922 committee in disarray, it’s unclear when the party may be able to stage a leadership election.

Kemi Badenoch has been attacking Rishi Sunak at shadow cabinet meetings. And Rachel Cunliffe reports that David Davis sees himself as potential LOTO material.

Hannah Barnes is joined by Rachel Cunliffe and Freddie Hayward on the New Statesman podcast to discuss why the Tories can’t seem to quit in-fighting.
