Tory grandees accuse senior figures in their own party of using divisive language.

Fears grow that the leadership election risks pulling the party further into populist polices.

Rishi Sunak , who remains Tory leader, was in the US last week and has not commented on violence since last weekend .

“To those members of the Conservative party who think that aping Reform is going to be the way to win a general election, I’d say it’s actually the way to a prolonged period of opposition.” A Tory source said: “We certainly won’t be making any apologies for trying to deter people from entering the country illegally.”.
