Championing Brexit freedoms and more
Rishi Sunak has launched a last-minute election pitch, defending the Tory record ahead of the upcoming polls. The Prime Minister highlighted Brexit freedoms, savings for families through his Net Zero plans, and emphasized Britain's global standing.
Defiant defense and trade deals
During a BBC interview, Sunak accused Sir Keir Starmer of planning to reaccept EU laws and praised Britain's trade deals with countries like Canada, Japan, and Malaysia. He also mentioned negotiations with India for a future trade agreement.
Rejecting the "declinist narrative"
Sunak refuted claims of Britain's declining status, citing collaborations on projects like new nuclear submarines and support for Ukraine. He dismissed the idea of a "declinist narrative" surrounding the UK and emphasized the country's positive reforms.
Criticism from Labour
In response, Labour's Jonathan Ashworth criticized Sunak for overlooking the struggles of ordinary working people, pointing out issues like rising prices, NHS waiting lists, and increased mortgages. Ashworth stressed the need for change through a vote for Labour in the upcoming polls.
