RISHI SUNAK bounced back onto the campaign trail today after he was forced to apologise for returning early from the D-Day commemorations in France last week.
Asked about rumours that he might quit before polling day, the Prime Minister said: "People are going to say what they're going to say. I am very confident in the actions that we're putting forward for the British people.
"The reality is I'm not going to stop going, I'm not going to stop fighting for people's votes. I'm not going to stop fighting for the future of our country," he told reporters in West Sussex.
"I believe in what we are doing deeply.
I think our country is at an important moment, we're at a crossroads, and that's why I called this election because, having restored economic stability, this is the moment to really think about how we can deliver a more secure future for everyone."
Mr Sunak also pushed back at an attack by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage condemned by some as dog-whistle racism that his early exit from the D-Day events showed he did not understand British culture or history.
"I can't speak for him and what he meant by those comments. I'm not going to get involved in that because I don't think it's good for our politics, or indeed our country," the Tory leader said. "And when it comes to the D-Day events, I spoke about that a lot last week.
