Polling guru: Rishi Sunak has 'only five per cent chance of winning' (Telegraph India)

John Curtice says he would be 'extraordinarily surprised' if Liz Truss does not take over from Boris Johnson as prime minister.

She has said that she will cut taxes to “go for growth”, but 63 per cent of members said the priority should be getting inflation under control. Four in 10 Tory members believe there will be a hung parliament or a Labour majority if Truss becomes prime minister, but the figures are even worse for Rishi. “On the other hand if you were asking who was the better politician you would have to say Liz Truss. Fifty-seven per cent of Conservative members say that they have already voted and another 38 per cent intend to do so. The race has tightened only slightly since a poll by The Times and YouGov a fortnight ago, when Truss had a 38 per cent lead. “She has a very clear narrative which clearly resonates with her audience, she sticks to her guns, she doesn’t change her mind.
