Tryl warned: “It leaves the party stuck in catch-22: do they lean in further to the right to win back disgruntled Tories voting for Reform UK, but risk losing many other votes from their liberal flank — or do they accept that there are a handful of seats that could be lost purely because Reform UK wins enough votes to let Labour or the Liberal Democrats in?”

Only 15 per cent want to wait until next autumn — which Tory chiefs are still planning for — and only 12 per cent until January 2025, the latest month an election can be held.
