RISHI Sunak says his "ambition for Britain is boundless" - as Tory MPs grow confident a tax-cutting agenda can put the party back on the road to election success.
The Prime Minister is sure he can win back voters' trust ahead of next year's poll to "propel us to victory".
Writing for the Sunday Express, Mr Sunak said holding on to Boris Johnson's old seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip showed "when there's a clear choice between the priorities and Conservatives' Labour's, people vote Conservative".
And striking an upbeat note, he said: "My ambition for what I want to achieve for people has no limit. That's why I set ambitious priorities and a bold plan and I'll strain every sinew to meet them."
There is excitement among Conservatives after Labour failed to win Uxbridge.
Sir Keir Starmer blamed the defeat on London Mayor Sadiq Khan's Ulez plan to make motorists of more polluting vehicles pay £12.50 a day to drive in the capital.
Senior Tories say this shows people will back them if they pledge to cut the cost of living.
And Conservatives are now pushing for more action to slash energy bills and end the BBC licence fee.
High profile red wall MP Jonathan Gullis said the party had to make brave decisions to set it apart from Labour and deliver on "the type of things people want".
He said: "That includes scrapping the licence fee, withdrawing from the European Convention on Human Rights, removing green levies on energy bills, potentially cutting VAT off fuel.
