Rishi Sunak is massively under the cosh today.
More than 41,500 illegal immigrants have now crossed the English Channel since he said he’d stop the boats, and he has resorted to desperately trying to cling on to any seat he can - visiting farmers in West Devon today, where there is a Tory majority of 25,000…and then a farm… with mixed results.
This is a defensive campaign. Why is he not being more aggressive? Ex-Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng thinks he should be.
There is a lot to go at when it comes to Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer…
Patrick Christys has questioned if Starmer is getting an easy ride

He wanted to abolish the Monarchy.
He signed a letter calling for foreign criminals to avoid deportation - one of those people is Ernesto Elliott, who went on to kill a man with a machete.
Sir Keir Starmer thinks it’s wrong to strip Shamima Begum of her citizenship.
He absolutely supported Jeremy Corbyn, and today confirmed he would have happily served in his Cabinet.
His name appears on a Communist spy list after he went to a work camp in Czechoslovakia at the height of the Cold War…
He took the knee for Black Lives Matter.
Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer speaking in WestminsterPAAnd today he appears to have suggested he’d allow veterans in their 70s and 80s to face prosecution for things that may or may not have happened in Northern Ireland, but would not repeal the letters of comfort offered to IRA terrorists…
Labour also wants to make it easier to change gender…which might mean men in women's changing rooms.
Rishi Sunak appears reluctant to raise any of this.
And why isn’t he mentioning Sir Ed Davey? The Tories are set to lose loads of seats in the Blue Wall to the Lib Dems and he hasn’t gone after them once as far as I can tell.
A vote for the Lib Dems is a vote to rejoin the European Union.
The Postmasters are furious with Davey. We'll be speaking to one later in the show.
He also wants votes for 16-year-olds, the latest poll on this shows 47 per cent said they opposed the idea with 28 per cent in support.
Rishi Sunak doesn’t seem to want to raise any of this stuff. Is Kwasi Kwarteng right - does he need to be more aggressive and go for the jugular?
