I AM A FAILURE

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.

Mr Sunak also confessed to presenter Nick Robinson 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.

Mr 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'.

PROUD

"And then when you confront him in the pub, he says, I'll pay you tomorrow'. You wouldn't believe him, would you?
