Editorial: The Guardian

• The Conservative party and the government seem to be falling apart.
• Rishi Sunak's political career is being counted in weeks.
• Would-be successors are already positioning themselves for the next leadership contest.
• Boris Johnson and Liz Truss continue to make advances against Sunak.
• The number of Conservatives that have had to resign or have been suspended is high.
• The allegations against Mark Menzies exacerbate the Conservative Party situation.
• Delays in processing accusations show a lack of action on the part of the Conservative party.
• Trust in public life institutions, and those who work in them, has taken a beating in recent years.

Conclusion: Restoring trust is a serious priority but it will not happen under a regime that is disintegrating as rapidly as the present one.
