I suspect its on its last legs.. It will be back for the paras then one last election run and then disappear.
There's the very real prospect of Sunak facing a leadership challenge following disastrous results for the Conservatives in the local elections, especially if they lose the West Midlands and Tees Valley mayoral contests.
A quick Google of "UK general election 2024" brings up numerous articles speculating that Sunak could call an election in early May (for June) to avoid a leadership challenge. Even Laura K speculated on Newscast yesterday that she was hearing from senior Downing St sources that Sunak could call a snap election within weeks, rather than face a Tory leadership challenge.
