UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faces pressure ahead of the Conservative Party conference this weekend, with polls suggesting he is on course to lose the next UK general election. A Bloomberg report reveals many Tory lawmakers are already preparing for a scenario where Sunak fails to turn around flagging Tory support. The report states over a dozen top Conservatives are lining up potential leadership bids should Sunak falter, despite the PM averting immediate internal rebellion. Sunak hopes to convince Tories he can still win in 2025 through policy shifts like reassessing HS2. But Labour currently holds a large lead in polls. Sunak loyalists maintain he could continue as PM if Labour falls short of a majority.
