Lee Anderson has thrown a strop and joined Reform UK. What is this political journeyman trying to do – other than seek a load of attention? And, the budget hasn’t managed to win hearts and minds for the Tories. In fact, it made the dial creep in the wrong direction. What will they try next?

• “If the Tories choose to radicalise, then I’m sure Lee Anderson could find a home back within the party.” – Hannah Fearn 
• “Talking up the numbers of defectors is just a way of spooking the Tories.” – Rafael Behr 
• “Sunak has very clumsy, clunky, tactical judgement.” – Rafael Behr
