“And I’m asking you to think about this. We’re only going to win this election if as we approach it, in two years, inflation is under control, borrowing is under control, interest rates are coming down and our economy is back on the road to recovery. “And Rishi Sunak is the only candidate — the only candidate — whose policies can deliver that result. We face many challenges in our country, but we’re not alone… But we have a leadership vacuum, unfortunately.” Lord Howard says Mr Sunak can provide the leadership needed “not only in this country, but in the whole of the Western world”, and insists he is confident that “we will choose to lead us, to inspire us, lead us to a great and glorious future, our next Prime Minister – Rishi Sunak”.
