Tony Lee, the Conservatives’ Campaign Director, has taken a leave of absence from the party, the BBC reports. Everything is fine.

Tory WhatsApp has gone into complete meltdown.

Lee has been the only one directing the entire field campaign. Now, literally, no one is in charge.

Now is the time for Sunak to "take personal charge".

You want to move to full catastrophe with two weeks to go to voting day?

Well, that move worked for Tsar Nichol . . . oh wait, no it didn't.

I think he should maybe try doing a reset
Another 2p off National insurance ought to do it

I wouldn't bet on it....🤔

Directing? It has been remarkably well camouflaged.

That Tory WhatsApp group in full:

Wait. Someone was actually coordinating the campaign?! 👀🤯

They had a plan, a bold plan. Got Tory leaflet yesterday.
Avatar
And tomorrow, they'll have a different bold plan. And the day after that. And again after that 🤔🤦‍♂️

It can only improve without him.

Absolute scenes. Remarkable stuff.

Ah, so this guy is the one that hates Sunak. Makes sense. I will die laughing (even more) if it makes little to no difference to the chaos that is his campaign.
Avatar
That there was someone in charge is the shocker.

Tbf it might improve based on the last week's performance.

hmm but that is a low base, i am now playing conservative party cricket one run or two for a labour or libdem poster but a six for a tory. reform is lbw.

I've just been up to mum's village, it's always been blue, I've never ever seen anything like the number of labour posters. No libdem, one green, zero Pip Davies tory (there used to be loads even 5 years ago). And this gives an idea - £1.5m house never had posters before.

but if you have tried to use the nhs the shit show becomes personal

Great idea! I have to drive to Durham and back next week, I reckon I can get a test match in over 5 days if I stick to the A-roads

excellent glad to be of service - we normally play with eddie stobart lorries!

Maybe it’s like the PM. Everyone gets a go.

Is Isaac Levido still involved? They must all be in despair at this stage.
Avatar
He was leaking at the start of the campaign that Sunak ignored his advice not to go early. Not me, guv. He’s there but has been invisible.

now there's a name I'll be happy never to hear again come July 5th

Is that because of his wife's allegedly possibly dodgy bet?

BBC’s now saying they think he bet too.

His wife, Laura Saunders (another Tory candidate for parliament), is under investigation by the Gambling Commission for betting on the date of the general election, per The Guardian, which might explain it: www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

It's beginning to look like the only people who didn't know the date of the GE prior to it's announcement were Sunak's senior Cabinet ministers.

I heard about the bet from the Bugle podcast and my initial thought was, "Back in the day that bookie would have sent someone around to crack some knees…"
