Rishi Sunak has urged voters not to let their frustration with him give Keir Starmer and the Labour Party a supermajority in the upcoming election.
Emphasizing the importance of this election, Sunak outlined the Conservative Party's plans to cut taxes, bolster security, and spread opportunities across the country.
He contrasted this with Labour's plans to raise taxes to their highest level in history and accused them of having no clear plans for economic stability.
Sunak acknowledged recent hardships, including the
COVID-19 pandemic and the energy price spike due to Putin's invasion of Ukraine, but pointed to economic recovery with inflation down to two percent, rising real wages, and the fastest-growing economy in the G7.
The Conservative leader promised further tax cuts, including abolishing the main rate of National Insurance Contributions for the self-employed and reducing Stamp Duty for first-time home buyers.
He warned that a Labour supermajority would lead to higher taxes and fewer job opportunities, claiming that their policies could lead to wage cuts.
Sunak also highlighted Conservative plans to secure borders and boost defense spending.
