Rishi Sunak has said he will “of course” stay on as an MP if the Conservatives lose the next general election, in his first remarks about what he would do in that scenario.

Asked on ITV’s Loose Women whether he loved the job enough to carry on in those circumstances, the prime minister said: “Yes of course I’m staying, I love being an MP, I love my constituents, I love my home in North Yorkshire, it’s wonderful – and I love being able to get back there.”
