Sunak: Starmer can be as cocky as he likes after local elections | News [Video]

Rishi Sunak warned Sir Keir Starmer he can be as cocky as he likes after the local election results, but when it comes to a general election it is policy that counts. Mr Sunak reminded the Labour leader of Tony Blairs famous words during Prime Ministers Questions on Wednesday 8 May, after Sir Keir began the clash by welcoming Natalie Elphicke and Chris Webb to the Labour benches. Ms Elphicke has defected to Labour, hitting out at the broken promises of the government, while Mr Webb is the new Blackpool South MP after winning last weeks by-election. Despite a mauling from the electorate last week, Mr Sunak remained defiant during his clash with Sir Keir.

In a speech in the City of London on Tuesday 7 April, Rachel Reeves said her party would use every day to expose what the Conservatives have done to our country and accused the government of gaslighting the public by claiming Britain had turned a corner. She said: Instead of believing the prime ministers claims that weve turned a corner, the questions people will ask ahead of the next election are simple.
