I broadly agree. I think they believe a few months of a government perceived as competent, that campaigns competently, has a better chance of not losing as heavily as Truss.
It’s a “win” for Sunak, who gets the prestige as a former PM when he elopes to Silicon Valley. Sure he will have lost, but that’s what happens when you get dealt really bad cards. It lets Mordaunt or others position themselves for post-election defeat leader; which had to be better than being Truss or her direct successor.
