Rishi Sunak didn't hide his excitement as he appeared on This Morning. The Tory leadership hopeful appeared live in the studio on the ITV daytime show on Thursday (August 18) with just over two weeks to go until the country gets a new Prime Minister.
Mr Sunak is currently in the running for the top job at Number 10 alongside Liz Truss. And he has insisted he still has a “shot” at being the next prime minister despite polls consistently putting his opponent as the clear favourite to win the leadership contest and replace Boris Johnson who announced he was stepping down in July.
The former chancellor said he "definitely" has a chance of victory, while warning his rival’s tax-cutting plans could fan the flames of inflation. Mr Sunak said his less radical plans are honest and deliverable, as economists said weak public finances mean large tax cuts are implausible.
