Sunak is fighting on

The Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader vowed to carry on "until the last day of this campaign" as he sought to dampen rumours that he might resign as Tory leader ahead of polling day on July 4.

Criticism of his early exit from the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings dogged Mr Sunak over the weekend, when he kept a low profile and avoided questions from reporters.

However, during a campaign visit yesterday to Horsham, West Sussex, which has a Tory majority of 21,127, he told journalists he would not stop "fighting for the future of our country".
