he's been spared the prospect of a by election after a more immediate election if mark menzies said he was going. what's been happening in recent by elections is thatconservative mp with rather large majorities have been losing those seats to labour and the liberal democrats to the opposition parties. mr menzies has a majority of more than 16,000. some seats from majority above 2013 had been lost. there's going to be a by election in the neighbouring blackpool south seat in lancashire in may. that's also again going to be a difficult political challenge for mr sunak. so i think he can be grateful to mark menzies in one respect that although he is resigning from the conservative party and therefore anything he does can't be any longer associated with the conservative party, at the same time, he's not forcing a by—election because the more of these elections which mr sunak loses or are lost under his leadership, the more the grumbles and discontent grows amongst the ranks
