In an interview with GB News published late Friday , Mr Sunak said he had spoken to thousands of party members in recent days and that the contest is closer than suggested by a bombshell YouGov poll on Tuesday, which found his rival Liz Truss had a huge 34-point lead with Tory members.
The comments seemed at odds with the Tory election pledge to"level up" less well-off areas of the country including northern England and the Midlands, under the premise that wealthier areas in the southeast have enjoyed the economic spoils for too long. Mr Sunak was speaking to a group of Tory activists in Royal Tunbridge Wells, southeast of London, at the time.
"We inherited a bunch of formulas from the Labour Party that shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas and that needed to be undone. I started the work of undoing that."
