Rishi Sunak: I didn’t give up on winning

Rishi Sunak said he was “not giving up at all” on winning the July 4 general election, despite talk of a “supermajority” for Labour.

The prime minister told the BBC his party had “not gotten everything right”, adding that he understood people’s frustration with him and the Conservatives.

However, he said people should be “aware” of the “danger” of a Labour government and warned the public against going into the election without thinking.

Asked if he would remain Conservative leader if he was defeated on Thursday, he said he loved his party “very much” and “will always put myself at its service”.

Meanwhile, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is trying to counter complacency among his supporters, telling voters in Buckinghamshire that results will “come down to a few hundred votes in many constituencies”.

He said people should imagine “waking up on Friday morning to another five years of Conservative government”.

Speaking to reporters later, Sir Keir said he would face challenges if his party succeeded in “crossing the line” and forming the next government.

“It will be really difficult because there will be a very difficult legacy after 14 years of failure under this government.

“We will have to do very difficult things to move the country forward.”
