RISHI Sunak last night admitted he has failed on the NHS, housing and immigration as he was confronted over 14 years of broken Tory promises.
In a BBC interview, the Prime Minister was repeatedly challenged over the state of the country.
He was forced to acknowledge it has become harder for people to own their first home under the Conservatives.
Sunak also confessed to presenter Nick Robinson that he had not delivered his pledge to cut NHS waiting lists and conceded immigration was “too high”.
He tried to explain away his failings by saying: “No government gets everything right.”
And as he claimed he would deliver on the promises if re-elected, he was forced to defend calling a snap election before any flights to Rwanda had taken off, despite putting it at the heart of his plan to tackle small boat crossings.
The PM conceded that no one has yet been sent to the African nation despite three years of Tory promises.
Robinson said: “When you say you’ve got a plan you sound to me like a guy in a pub who borrows 50 quid, and he borrowed it three years ago, and he keeps saying, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll pay you back.’
“And then when you confront him in the pub, he says, ‘I’ll pay you tomorrow.’ You wouldn’t believe him, would you?
“You’re constantly promising what you will do, but what you haven’t done so far.”
The presenter added many viewers believe “nothing works in this country”.
The PM responded: “I’ve been very clear in the past, no government gets everything right, but I am proud of what has been achieved over 14 years, this election is also about the future.”
He claimed waiting lists are starting to go down, but admitted: “I’ve been very clear.
“We have not made as much progress on NHS waiting lists as I would have liked, and they have risen.”
