Sacking Sunak

SIR – Sherelle Jacobs calls for Rishi Sunak to be replaced (Comment, March 26). However, there is not a single person – or leader – who could resolve the Tory Party’s current woes.

It is not a change of prime minister that is required, but a clear-out of a large number of MPS who sit on the Conservative benches, are far from conservative and do not understand the meaning of loyalty. All of our last three prime ministers, even Liz Truss, were thwarted in their ambitions by a party at war with itself.

Reform UK and the Tories must combine and use the next five years in opposition to gather a united and loyal group of truly conservative candidates to develop truly conservative policies.

SIR – I am writing regarding your report, “Mordaunt has made 40 trips to Tory associations events since Sunak became PM” (March 22).

In fact, I have made more than 70 such visits, excluding those in a ministerial capacity and any fundraising and campaigning organised by Conservative Campaign Headquarters. I am pleased to have raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for our prospective candidates, incumbent MPS and local associations, and I intend to continue such visits in the coming weeks and months. I’ll be right there with them, campaigning on the doorstep and lending my support to ensure these fine people secure their seats in Parliament.

My motivation for doing so is straightforward: to support the campaign front line against the threat of a Labour government.

Should Labour get back into power, we can expect to see the undermining of Nato via an EU defence pact, the unpicking of decades of trades-union reform, the clobbering of our businesses by new red tape and greater taxation, the erosion of our educational standards, cuts to the NHS budget, and for all the nonsense and maladministration so evident in Wales and London to be inflicted on the British people further – and worse.
