Rishi Sunak has claimed he stopped a Covid lockdown at the end of last year, which he believed was 'hours away' from being imposed

"And I came back and fought very hard against the system because I believed that would be the wrong thing for this country, with all the damage it would have done to businesses, to children's education, to people's lives."

He added that his actions had "challenged the system" which showed voters he is "prepared to push hard and fight for the things that I believe in even when that's difficult".In a wide-ranging interview, he also told Andrew Marr that "all the evidence" showed Liz Truss, his rival for the Tory leadership, would lose an election to Labour.

Recent polling has shown Mr Sunak may lose to Ms Truss in the final vote by Tory members as to who should take over the party. He also claimed that his family's background as immigrants was the reason he believed the Rwanda asylum seeker plan was viable and that he could get it to work.

Damn shame, loved working from home

So he enabled 1000s more deaths just as he did with his Eat Out To Help Out scheme?

Because of course, he was PM back then? Oh no. You mean he was making that story up? Do people do that? Pretty soon you're gonna tell me he committed a crime or something and didn't just come forward. Finned for partying in lockdown you say? With the PM and the PM's wife? Wow!!

Also RishiSunak you have zero chance of beating Labour, like you keep going on about. No Tory could beat Labour next time round. It’s over mate 😬🖕🎉

RishiSunak avoiding a lockdown is not a brag 🖕 you’re so deluded and disconnected.

So all you people who lost loved ones at that time know exactly who's responsible.

What a fucking hero.... Not

Of course he did. Because he had thrown 2 generations of debt away and hadn't got any more money to squander. This man is dangerous. Don't let him near a decision again.

The thing about Rishi - there’ll be no more lockdowns

Excellent work Rishi. Someone had to stop the madness.

It’s a matter of shame not something of being proud of …more people died because of your inept decision

Slowly Slowly catchy monkey it’s all coming out.

Bollocks. Proper electioninig... Once a liar always a liar

Full of.....

Wonder how many people died because of him

Maybe there would have been fewer deaths if he hadn’t?
