All is not well in the Tory party these days. After a tumultuous election campaign which saw infighting frequently dominate the headlines, it seems that division and instability have followed the party into opposition too. On Sunday night, Suella Braverman announced that she would not be contesting the leadership, adamant that there would be ‘no point’ in running ‘when most of the MPs disagree with my diagnosis and prescription’.
