Rishi Sunak shouldered the burden for a “sobering verdict” at the General Election, as competing Tory factions began their battle over the diminished party’s future. Liz Truss and a record number of serving Cabinet members lost their seats in the Tory bloodbath, as one of Mr Sunak’s most loyal allies Mel Stride said the party needed a new leader. The outgoing Prime Minister said it had been a “difficult night” and apologised to Conservative candidates who had lost their seats, as he held onto his own Richmond and Northallerton constituency. Mr Sunak’s apology was echoed by Suella Braverman, but the Tory leadership challenger was sorry for her party’s record in Government, suggesting it had not listened enough to the electorate. Talk’s Mike Graham is joined by former MEP Stanley Johnson, father of former prime minister Boris Johnson, to discuss the election results. Click here for more from Talk If you need any help visit:
