Describing the outcomes as a "wake up call", he urged social gathering members to "come together now" to cease Sir Keir.

He continued: "I don’t want to see the same thing happen at next year’s general election.

"I don’t want to see David Lammy with the power to keep foreign criminals in the country.

Mr Hands added: "I don’t need the identical individuals who tried to make Jeremy Corbyn Prime Minister deciding what Britain’s future ought to seem like."

The Labour leader today gloated he is heading for No 10 at the next general election as he celebrated Labour's local election results.

A party source cast blame on Mr Sunak for causing the "chaos" after "knifing" Boris Johnson as Prime Minister, when he pushed him to resign last year.

"Sunak's claim that stability has been restored is shot to bits."

Speaking to BBC Radio 4, he mentioned the Tory social gathering will not be "getting our message across very well – that people are very concerned about what we’re doing, what we stand for".

He added: "It isn’t about ‘bring back Boris’, by the way. It is about party democracy. But it’s true that a lot of our members still like and rate Boris, as do many of the public, and given the scale of the challenge ahead we shouldn’t rule that out as an option longer term."

Mr Campbell-Bannerman claimed that social gathering members are nonetheless not joyful about "the way that we got rid of Boris".
