Last night Westminster’s floor-crosser par excellence, Will Dry, emerged into public view for the first time since his resignation from 10 Downing Street. Dry worked as a pollster for Rishi Sunak before defecting to the Conservative Britain Alliance (CBA), a mysterious group of Right-wingers that wants to oust the PM, late last year. He was behind a shock CBA poll in January that claimed the Tories would be wiped out if Sunak continues as leader.
At a panel organised by polling firm JL Partners yesterday to discuss the forthcoming election, Dry said that the PM is “an extremely good, decent, hardworking guy” but that it is “very, very difficult” to see him winning the election. He predicts a “handsome Labour majority” if an election were held tomorrow.
