Rishi Sunak is preparing for a political comeback as he seeks to convince Tory MPs that the economy is poised to “bounce back” under his leadership. The Mail has more.
The Prime Minister will use a speech in the Midlands to try to shift the political debate on to the economy after a bruising week which triggered speculation he could be deposed before the election.
Allies of the Prime Minister are furious with Commons leader Penny Mordaunt after she failed to publicly distance herself from weekend reports that she is being lined up as a potential unity candidate to replace Mr. Sunak. …
Rebel MPs are targeting the May bank holiday for a potential push against the Prime Minister if the Conservatives take a drubbing in the local elections on May 2nd. One source said it would be the “May Day from Hell” for Mr. Sunak.
Senior Conservatives acknowledge there is widespread dismay at the party’s standing in the polls, but insist that active plotting is confined to a “small minority”. Mr. Sunak will attempt to fight back today by saying the U.K. economy is “turning a corner”. …
The Mail revealed at the weekend that Tory MPs on the Right of the party held secret talks with moderates last week about the possibility of burying their differences to unite behind Ms. Mordaunt.
In a further blow to No. 10, the Mail on Sunday yesterday revealed dire private polling suggesting that the Conservatives are on course for their worst election defeat in history and could be reduced to fewer than 150 seats.
In this scenario, Ms. Mordaunt’s Portsmouth North seat would be among the casualties, prompting one rebel source to observe: “She’s got nothing to lose.” …
Former Cabinet minister Sir David Davis, who backed Ms. Mordaunt’s leadership bid in 2022, warned that installing a fourth leader in two years would be “completely bonkers” and make Labour calls for an immediate election “irresistible”.
But another former minister on the moderate wing of the party said the “balance of opinion is starting to shift” over whether to stick with Mr. Sunak or gamble on a new leader.
Allies of the PM believe Ms. Mordaunt is being used as a ‘stalking horse’ to persuade Tory moderates to submit letters of no-confidence in the PM.

the GLP, an entity funded primarily by the public
This statement might give the impression it was in some way tax-payer funded. To be clear – it is non-profit funded by donations.
I wonder where some of those donations have come from?
Suckers. Maugham loses every case.
“We are hugely grateful to have received support from Avaaz, Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust, Lund Trust, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin, Necessity, 38 Degrees, and Dale Vince, CEO of Ecotricity.“
The enemy.
The GLP is headed up by Jolyon Maughan, the fox killing KC, a legend in his own lunchbox.
in his wife’s Kimono, I think you mean.
Three downvotes for pointing out a fact!
I am just pleased to get 44 upvotes – a novel experience for me.
It’s essentially funded by the radical left/big money.
The Good Law Project?
This rogue outfit clearly does not have a clue about ‘good law’ and is very definitely conducting itself via false promises. The failure to understand what has gone on these last three years is staggering. Furthermore, the dangers of the so called vaccines are now becoming mainstream. Does the GLP not understand what underscores the Hippocratic Oath – first do no harm?
HART and other like-minded groups should consider taking the GLP to court. I would happily contribute.
Perhaps it should be renamed; how about “The Oxymoronic Project”?
Or Grift Law Project?
The Good Law Project that loses every case it takes to court.
At the same time, didn’t the GMC try to section Dr Sam White if I remember correctly.
Dr Sam White won his case on the basis of freedom of speech, judgement since removed from the website where case judgements are posted for reference, so it’s good to see that the GMC are applying the judgement to Dr Malhotra’s case.
My understanding of the GLP is they only exist to campaign for donations to pay their fees so that they can carry out lawfare.
Congratulations to all the signatories in support of Dr Malhotra.
An courageous and outstandingly honourable position to have taken
The GLP has form. See Guido Fawkes for his many postings on Jolyon Maughan, the founder of GLP. He comments that “Jolyon Maugham triggers Judical Reviews as often as Guido has hangovers”. I rest my case m’lord.
Well this particular ‘case’ is not on the GLP website, so I’m wondering if they have since disassociated from it (this dates back to June). The fact that they have ‘nearly raised £5k in all that time since speaks volumes.
No doubt that is precisely the intent.
Somebody doesn’t want independent doctors but rather obedient foot soldiers.
Didn’t the GLP get one of their recent cases thrown out when the judge decided that they themselves had no ‘standing’ inthe case (ie not directly impacted by the law they were seeking to challenge)
Well, GLP are clearly neither involved in, nor impacted by the decision to allow Aseem to speak his mind.
This is simply an attempt to use the courts to cancel someone they dislike. Fatuous nonsense, I hope this case dies on its ar5e.
It probably will and the GLP probably know it too.
Regardless, they will have achieved their aim which is one of intimidation.
Other doctors will have taken note and will be that much more reluctant to speak up just to avoid the hassle of a lawsuit, because however spurious, fighting one takes time, money and energy.
Jolyon Maugham, who runs GLP is the classic champagne socialist. There may be people who don’t know in which case please the following link highlighting his notorious role as a notorious beater to death of foxes, just in case…..

TCW have reported this as Breaking News.
The more the better.
Oh dear, if the kimono-clad fox-killer is involved then it certainly isn’t anything related to good law. Leftwaffe arse.
I’m just thankful we still have a modicum of free speech in this country – evidenced by the freedom of the ‘Good Law Project’ to make an utter fool of themselves. Chilling, nonetheless and also chilling is their 1984 distortion of language in their title.
Who is Dr Matt Kneale and why did he instigate this case against the GMC and Dr Malhotra?
Jealousy or money. The old favourites for legal action.
I suspect a sectarian angle: “Malhotra” is a name associated with Hindu and/or Sikh beliefs; “Matt Kneale” has clear Islamic connotations.
Thank you for lightening my mood.
Never heard of him before but if it’s the same Matthew Kneale who has made several (approx 900) FOI requests, he has a keen interest in Trust disciplinary processes and GMC referrals…and also free car parking for NHS staff.

That’s alright then, no possible conflicts of interest here. A low rent version of the BMA.
The Good Law Project – which supported Mermaids in their disastrous own-goal legal challenge against the LGB Alliance – has a name like 1984’s Ministry of Peace, Ministry of Love and Ministry of Plenty.
Only sorry I didn’t hear about this, as I would have signed it as well.
“Good Law Project”
Pull the other one.
If you’ve got to include the word “good” in the name, it means it probably isn’t.
BTW good interview with Dr Malhotra on the Highwire last week.
Hopefully this is a case of any publicity is good publicity for the cause. We need more medics to speak out.
I have previously supported the Good Law with donations. Never again.
Me too and I am or was on their email list, but certainly never got one about this case.
Once again I do not see one GP or rheumatologist’s name in our practice or local hospital. Surely they are witnessing the severe serious adverse events and deaths post covid vaxxes. I have lost faith in our GP’s and consultants. How on earth, can they continue to participate in the admin of these unsafe and ineffective experimental biologicals?
My guess is that they are keeping their heads down, knowing how deep in the sh1t they are and incapable of imagining a way out.
GLP seem to have shut down their contact form as mine would not send.
“I have previously donated to GLP’s projects.
Your apparently unreasonable witch hunt of Dr. Aseem Malhotra is beyond the pale and I will not be supporting GLP ever again.
Such a shame and very much anti free speech. “

I declare an oxymoron.
