I don’t like to be pedantic but a Government policy would have been developed by ministers on the advice of officials and collectively agreed. I would have had a say on behalf of NI.
But this proposal was developed by a political adviser or advisers and sprung on candidates, some of whom are relevant ministers.

There is a lot of bad blood among Tory MPs - including from many members of the Cabinet - over Rishi Sunak's unilateral decision to call an early election
Sustaining party discipline will be challenging, especially in marginal seats
Steve Baker's criticism of Rishi Sunak's flagship national service scheme could be a sign of things to come
The bad blood from Tory MPs is on several fronts:
* Some say it has made their chances of holding onto their constituencies much lower - they simply haven't had enough time to prepare
* There are complaints that they haven't had enough time to raise the funding they need
* There is anger that Sunak went straight out to campaign without meeting MPs
* Cabinet ministers were completely cut of the picture - Sunak had already been to see the King when he told them about plan for July 4 election
* Some of them are on a fundamental level fearful about their own futures - they are really worried about their own livelihoods and those of their staff
