Johnson returns to the trail just as campaigning finishes

At a rally yesterday, Mr Sunak hailed the “Conservative family united” after an appearance by his predecessor Mr Johnson and claimed just 130,000 voters could help stem his party’s predicted losses.

Speaking at the rally, held at the National Army Museum in Chelsea, London, the PM said: “Isn’t it great to have our Conservative family united, my friends?”

Mr Sunak added: “Now, it suits lots of people to say that the result of this election is a foregone conclusion but I know that it is not. Just 130,000 people switching their vote, giving us their support, is what it will take to deny Labour that supermajority they want. Every single vote matters.”
