Prime Minister Rishi Sunak speaks during a visit to a U3A community group at the Chiltern leisure centre in Amersham, Buckinghamshire
RISHI SUNAK is attempting to “hoodwink the public” by claiming to be delivering on the people’s priorities ahead of Thursday’s local elections across England, Labour leftwinger Richard Burgon has charged.
The Leeds East MP accused the Tory Prime Minister of grandstanding while his government oversees the “biggest attack on living standards in recent memory.”
Mr Burgon spoke as party leaders made their final pitch to voters before the voting, which will choose 8,000 councillors in 230 local authorities and four local mayors.
