Sunak ultimately responsible for Tory chaos - Houchen

Ben Houchen has admitted "things don't look great for the Conservative Party at the moment".

The newly re-elected Tees Valley mayor was asked if Rishi Sunak was to blame, and he replied that "ultimately it lies with Rishi”, but added others were also to blame.

In a BBC Tees interview, Lord Houchen warned colleagues to “stop messing about” by fighting each other.
