Rishi Sunak addressed Conservative MPs in Parliament as he fought to assert his authority behind him following days of speculation about his position.
A defiant Rishi Sunak insisted he would still be Prime Minister after May’s local elections as he dismissed “Westminster gossip” about Tory leadership plots and sought to rally his party behind him.
Heavy defeats for the Conservatives in the local elections could heap pressure on Mr Sunak amid dire opinion poll ratings that show Labour enjoying a lead of around 20 points. “What they are talking to me about is making sure that inflation continues to come down, that energy bills and mortgage rates are falling, that we are cutting taxes so that their family have more money in their bank accounts every month… That’s what we’re delivering on the economy.”
“It’s just that is not what’s important. What’s important is the future of our country, and people’s financial security and the peace of mind that they rightly deserve.” Mr Berry stressed he had not submitted a letter of no confidence in the Prime Minister but said he had raised the issue with the whips and received no reply.
One Tory MP echoed Mr Gullis’s show of support for the PM, saying “it was the best we’ve seen him for a while” while another said the “roof nearly went off” as those at the meeting cheered and banged tables. Ms Mordaunt is said to be being considered as a unity candidate who could be acceptable to both the Tory right and moderates if there is a last-ditch change in leaders before the election.Downing Street refused to say whether the Prime Minister had held talks with Ms Mordaunt since the reports first emerged over the weekend.The Prime Minister’s press secretary was asked by reporters if he was disappointed the Commons Leader had not firmly denied being part of a plot to replace him.
