One of Rishi Sunak’s top Cabinet allies admitted on Wednesday that Labour appears to be heading to a “massive majority”, but urged voters to elect a viable opposition.
In a clear admission of looming defeat, Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride told Sky News: “I’m extremely worried for the future if we have a Labour government, particularly if we have one that is totally unrestrained because it has a massive majority, which is what we appear to be heading towards, with very little opposition in Parliament.”
