- Political betting markets remain stable, with bettors assigning a 90% implied probability of Truss being elected next Conservative leader and PM according to data from Smarkets.
- Policy platforms for both candidates remain fluid at present, with each struggling to offer a plan for assisting households with rising inflationary pressures.
- With the ballot closing on 2 September, there is little time for Sunak to turn the contest around, especially considering that despite hustings still occurring, many Conservative members will have already voted.
- The prospect of a shock Sunak win seems unlikely, however polling Conservative party members has often proved a difficult task, and there is the slim prospect that much of the party's grassroot leanings have been misread.
