The Observer – We’ve given up the fight, say Tories as poll defeats loom

The Observer reports that Conservative MPs have “predicted fresh attacks on Rishi Sunak’s leadership within days” in the run-up to by-elections in Wellingborough and Kingswood. The paper also reports that schools are having to “cut” teachers and support staff to save money.

England’s fightback to beat Wales in the Six Nations also makes the front splash. England currently sit top of the table having won both their opening games.
