Liz Truss will move to shore up the so-called “Blue Wall” of Conservative seats if she becomes prime minister with a number of MPs said to be worried about losing their seats. The Foreign Secretary on Tuesday vowed to boost funding for the Tories’ unit for taking on the Liberal Democrats with “quite a few” MPs concerned following a series of recent by-election defeats to the party, according to one source.

I wonder whether this well funded unit aimed at attacking the LibDems will still have Hayward Burt in charge?
"The head of a Conservative HQ unit devoted to defeating the Liberal Democrats has lost his battle for a seat on Somerset Council – to a Liberal Democrat. Hayward Burt has given advice to Tory grassroots organisations on how to see off the “yellow peril” in the Conservative heartland areas known as the Blue Wall which are under assault from Sir Ed Davey’s party."
