Rishi Sunak is facing a landslide general election defeat because he is seen as “spineless and false” and makes people “cringe”, according to a top pollster.
The verdict came as a major new survey indicated that Labour is heading for a repeat of Tony Blair’s crushing victory over the Tories in 1997.
Conservative alarm at the results – allied to a fresh split over the controversial Rwanda bill – prompted speculation that the Tories could face their third leadership contest in less than 18 months.
Tory deputy chair Lee Anderson rocked Mr Sunak’s authority by backing right-wing rebels trying to force the PM to toughen up the deportation bill ahead of a showdown vote on Wednesday.
Hardline MPs are vowing to vote against the government if Mr Sunak refuses to back down – with one telling The Independent that the chances of a seismic defeat that could end his time at No 10 are “underpriced”.

This is what it's about.
“...he is seen as “spineless and false” and makes people “cringe”, ...”
That is a too generous assessment for “Head Boy”.
What is the point of the legislation - I ask - if they can challenge cases and the lefty lawyers and judges rule against it as they always do?
Parliament is allegedly sovereign and can supersede the court and therefore deport them without recourse.
Sunak has a huge majority and is squandering it.
They can deport without recourse so why not ? I dont understand.
It’s merely a gimmick.
Hoping the rebels win as there is no point anyway in this law.
I think and hope they vote it down and sink it.
It’s a con job so Sunak can pretend he’s done something
He could do a lot with that majority which disappears after the next election
Instead, he’s doing not much at all for his own voters
He’s a CINO/RINO and would rather stab them in the back.
Awful.
Voters see through it and are frustrated
They look to the opposition which is even worse!
Total mess...
It’s like Sunak doesn’t want to win. He’s a designated loser.
What this is about is that the letter after a polls name means bugger all in the UK, too.
It’s controlled by its Deep State.
Its pols are Deep State.
What it needs is a Trump.
Sunak is Deep State.
So far it looks like social services and the fuzz totally dropped the ball.
Sunak hasn't said a word.
No other pols are raising Hell.
No assurances are being made that heads will roll and things will change. That public servants will actually be required to service the public.
And BTW, note that the Express is not allowing comments on the article.
Gee, I wonder why.
He was in Johnson’s cabinet during lockdowns. He should be hanging from a lamppost, not running the government.
Deep States nowhere on the planet pick for front office appearance types for brains.
Not quite. Parliament is indeed sovereign, and can therefore change the law. What it can’t do is change the judgment of a court in specific cases under existing law.
The UK's Deep State can't be freaked about losing their own elections. It controls who counts the votes and owns all the candidates. The UK doesn't have a Trump. Yet it's still freaked...
