Sunak trails Truss by 24 points, Tory poll reveals

 Just 24 hours after the pair made it through to the final run-off in the Conservative leadership contest, the YouGov poll gives the foreign secretary a 24-point lead over the former chancellor.

The research – conducted after the final MPs’ ballot on Wednesday – shows that 62 per cent of party members intend to vote for Ms Truss, compared to 38 per cent for Mr Sunak. The pollster’s previous survey earlier this week gave Ms Truss, who has pledged to introduce multi-billion pound tax cuts from “day one”, including reversing a planned hike in corporation tax, a 20-point lead among members.

Ex-Ofsted chief lashes out at Labour's school reforms

The former head of Ofsted has lashed out at the education secretary, accusing her of caring more about the interests of unions than schoolchildren. In a scathing broadside at Bridget Phillipson’s education reforms, Amanda Spielman accused her of bowing to the “demands of unions”. And Ms Spielman, who stood down as the head of the schools watchdog in 2023, called for her to abandon the plans “before the damage is done”.

The reason why Liverpool's season is sliding off the rails

The Carabao Cup had been lifted by Bruno Guimaraes and Kieran Trippier, Eddie Howe had been drenched in alcohol by Joelinton, and the black-and-white hordes were starting to disperse when a manager reflected on a historic first. Not the victorious one, though. It took us seven, eight, nine months to lose twice in a row,” said Arne Slot. It is perhaps not a statistic to echo through the ages like Newcastle’s 70-year wait for domestic silverware or the 56-year gap between claiming any major honour.
