| Here's two observations about the local election results. | |
| First: The results have been pretty dismal for the Conservatives, with some limited exceptions, pointing the way to a Labour victory at the general election. | |
| Second: Speaking to Conservative MPs, advisers and officials, any threat to Rishi Sunak's leadership appears to be fading fast. | |
| To some, that's a paradox. | |
| The results so far indicate that the Conservatives are heading for defeat under Sunak's leadership. | |
| Why not, then, change leader? | |
| Yet there are still only two MPs who have publicly called for a change of leader - with no-one new joining that rebel band in response to these results. | |
| For another group of Conservative MPs, the possibility of ousting yet another leader in such a short timeframe is too absurd even to mention. | |
| Both sides agree that as it stands the prospect of a challenge to the prime minister's authority is receding. | |
