A senior Tory backbencher has said it is "almost impossible" for Rishi Sunak to win the next election - and warned more of his MPs will stand down.
Sir Charles Walker said he thought "quite a lot" of Conservative MPs would quit ahead of the next national poll to avoid 10 years in opposition.
He warned the Prime Minister that Tories will "pay the price" for "playing" with people's finances after Liz Truss trashed the economy with her tax-slashing mini Budget.
