Good morning.
Yesterday, Rishi Sunak gathered his cabinet ministers in a retreat at Chequers for an all-day strategy session that was supposed to figure out the scale of the electoral task ahead and how they can turn around their abysmal poll ratings. The local elections in parts of England and all of Northern Ireland are set to take place in three months and a general election is less than two years away. If the Tories wants to win, Sunak has a very large mountain to climb.
