The Tories are at risk of losing another safe seat if constituents in Wellingborough recall disgraced MP Peter Bone, who has been suspended from the Commons.
The prime minister, giving a press conference on Artificial Intelligence, also ruled out making tax cuts to win voters back if the Conservative Party loses a by-election inThe veteran MP, who had the whip removed over allegations of bullying and sexual misconduct, was suspended from the Commons for six weeks after Parliament's Independent Expert Panel upheld the claims, which Mr Bone denies.
Asked about fighting for Mr Bone's seat, Mr Sunak told journalists: "I think there is lots of things in by-elections which are always difficult for incumbent governments - I talked about that the other week, and we are just going to carry on delivering for the country."Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden has also admitted Wellingborough would be tough for his party, despite the 18,500 majority.
Parties will then announce their candidates for the by-election and could allow the former seat-holder to contest the constituency, however in the case of Mr Bone this is extremely unlikely because he has had the Tory whip removed.The PM, answering specifically on whether another crushing loss would force him into making tax cuts, said: "When it comes to taxes, I've always been clear that of course I want to cut people's taxes - I'm a Conservative, I believe in doing that.
A report by the IEP - and approved by Parliament's Committee on Standards - said he “committed many varied acts of bullying and one act of sexual misconduct” against a member of his staff more than 10 years ago.
