"There's a mole - right at the heart of Downing Street, one of the top people. The Labour codename for him is 'Gaitskell'. We don't know who he is, but this 'Gaitskell' has compromised or actively suborned dozens, perhaps hundreds of our candidates' prospects."

This latest one inspired by Sunak's Day Three campaign: visiting the factory where they made the Titanic. Tomorrow: a factory where they make 'Exit' signs.

I really don't know how this pitch of screeching incompetence can be maintained for another six weeks. It's just going to feel like everything's gone flat.

Sunak tends to have periods of misplaced confidence followed by crashes, and I think that will continue.

The non-PM bit of the campaign is not terrible so if he goes quiet for a bit things we’ll improve, his confidence will come back and etc etc

Gove timed his announcement well then. BBC News just said “he has political instincts that Prime Ministers have relied on.”

I'm not convinced the wider campaign is not terrible tbh. It's just obscured by how bad he is

Ie. They're struggling for candidates, have no argument that's sustainable and their campaign infrastructure is in bits. Withdrawing Sunak just brings that into focus
