The British prime minister told a meeting of Tory MPs that sitting governments “rarely win” by-elections
Rishi Sunak has braced Tory MPs for possible defeats in three by-elections taking place today, but assured them that he will outline his vision to win over voters at the next British general election in the coming months.
Labour hopes to snatch Uxbridge and South Ruislip, which was Boris Johnson’s seat until he quit, and Selby and Ainsty, vacated by his ally Nigel Adams’ resignation. On Wednesday evening, Sunak was understood to have told his MPs: “In the coming months, I am going to set out more of what I would do if I had a full term. I was recently described as a full spectrum modern Conservative and you are going to see that in the programme I lay out.”
“When we come back in September we have a choice to make, all of us. Do we come together and throw everything at winning the next election or not? I’ve made my choice, I’m all in with you to win,” Sunak told the meeting. “I promise you we can do this but we can only do it together as one team.”
