The Plot: part II

14 min listen

Rishi Sunak seems to be facing his own ‘plot’. But unlike in Nadine Dorries’ now infamous book, it’s not a secret cabal orchestrated by Dougie Smith hoping to depose him, but a mysterious rebel group, backed by Tory donors, who have been funding the polling we’ve seen in the Telegraph recently. The news today is that they have added Will Dry – Rishi Sunak’s former pollster – to their ranks. Is this plot a serious and organised threat to Rishi’s premiership?

James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and Paul Goodman, editor of Conservative Home. 

Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
