Rishi Sunak insisted he is 'not going to stop' as he visited Horsham in West Sussex - traditionally a stronghold - after an extraordinary weekend of recriminations.
Rishi Sunak sounded defiance today as he scrambled to get the Tories' election campaign back on track after the D-Day shambles.
Focus groups conducted by think-tank More in Common have laid bare the impact of the D-Day episode, with doubts about Mr Sunak 'turbocharged' and the premier now seen by voters as a drag on his party. Mr Farage punched the bruise at an economic policy launch this afternoon, saying Reform is 'closer to a tipping point' than people realise. He also taunted that the Conservatives could be left with 'zero' MPs and just 8 per cent support if Mr Sunak is forced to quit during the campaign.
Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride was forced to quash speculation Mr Sunak could resign before the election. Farage says personal allowance should be £20k Nigel Farage has proposed hiking the personal tax allowance to £20,000 a year.Mr Farage claimed that such huge measures could be funded with £50billion in spending cuts and through tax changes.
But Sir Robert gave the idea short shrift, and Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch has previously indicated she would not serve in the party alongside Mr Farage. He added that the PM was 'utterly disconnected by class, by privilege, from how ordinary folk feel. He revealed that, I think spectacularly, when he left Normandy early'.
