Rishi Sunak cannot afford to become consumed by by-election defeats

The Independent  

At a time when Vladimir Putin is asserting his brutal power ever more blatantly, when Ukrainian forces are being pushed back, and when the situation in Gaza is bleaker than ever, the British prime minister cannot afford to be distracted by the protest votes for a minority party in by-elections. Labour has established a commanding lead, confirmed by the two by-elections, while Mr Sunak faces the defection of part of his core vote to Nigel Farage’s party. Whereas Ukip drew much of its support from Labour voters and had a statist economic policy to match, Reform looks much more like the Liz Truss fan club of small-state libertarians coming out of the Tory party. Of course, most people want both lower taxes and secure borders but the subtext of the prime minister’s words is clear: he is trying to appeal to the “tax cuts at all costs” tendency, and to those who want harsher rhetoric about asylum seekers, no matter how unworkable the actual policy. He accepted the logic of Mr Sunak’s argument at the last election when he stood down half of the Brexit Party’s candidates in order to avoid handing seats to Labour.
