Rishi Sunak needs to put an end to the Tory turmoil

The Conservative Party is now in more turmoil and chaos than ever before, with no chance of winning the next general election. Rishi Sunak should take this as an opportunity to retrench and consolidate, to expel the far-right fringe and anyone else who refuses to toe his pragmatic and sensible line.
The party would, of course, be smaller but it would be more cohesive and manageable, and would gradually rebuild in strength by welcoming back those disillusioned by the David Cameron, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss years of lunacy.
I shall never vote Tory but democracy needs a realistic and robust opposition, which I regret we shall not have after the next (hopefully imminent) general election.
