Rishi Sunak on Wednesday urged Conservative voters defecting to Reform UK to stick by him, warning that Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour would take “no action” on their concerns about immigration or net zero.
The Prime Minister was grilled on a radio phone-in by one voter who said he had voted for the Tories since Margaret Thatcher’s first victory in 1979 but was now supporting the Nigel Farage-backed party, which is polling in double digits in opinion polls.
