Rishi Sunak's leadership is under scrutiny as the Conservative Party faces substantial losses in the English local elections.

Conservative MPs show signs of pessimism about retaining power in the forthcoming general election.

Contrary to local election results, new data suggests Labour could emerge as the largest party in a potential hung Parliament.

Sunak defends the possibility of a closer general election outcome than current polls, which forecast a Labour landslide.

Downing Street has delayed plans for a summer general election, now aiming for a vote in late autumn.

Under pressure, Sunak is advised by Tory right to implement tax cuts and cap legal migration in an attempt to regain voter support.

Despite setbacks, the Prime Minister expresses confidence in the Conservative Party's potential to demonstrate their capabilities to the electorate.
