Keir won’t tell you what he’ll do in power because he knows you won’t like it – you’re going to suffer, Rishi blasts

KEIR Starmer won’t tell you what he’ll do in power because he knows you won’t like it, Rishi Sunak has blasted tonight.

The PM warned Brits will suffer under a Labour government while taking questions from Sun readers and our Political Editor Harry Cole.

Rishi and Keir are being grilled live by readers in a Never Mind the Ballots Election Showdown this evening.

You can watch the clash live on thesun.co.uk, our YouTube channel and on our social media accounts.

Asked to defend his record, Rishi said: “I believe in what I’m saying, I believe in tax cuts.

“I’m very proud of what we’ve done but I am focused on the future and this election.

“We can talk about the past but the choice is – who do you want to run your country?

“Who is placed to deliver security? No-one can say what Labour will do.

“If a politician doesn’t tell you what they’ll do, it’s probably because you won’t like it.

“We’ve heard from the audience about the challenges of bills – that’s why I’m fighting hard.”

Both Rishi and Keir are facing the questions YOU care about on the Never Mind The Ballots Election Showdown.

The back-to-back interviews are among the final chances for both sides to set out their stalls and defend their manifesto pledges.

Tonight’s clash comes after Rishi’s hopes of the betting scandal dying down were shattered.

Yesterday the Gambling Commission fingered another top Tory for allegedly putting a flutter on the timing of the General Election.

The party’s chief data officer Nick Mason became the fourth Tory probed by the watchdog.

It is also understood the commission has widened its inquiries to investigate whether party insiders used third parties to place bets.

Sources claim the Gambling commission has identified more persons of interest.

Mason, Tory official Tony Lee and candidates Craig Williams and Laura Saunders are already under investigation.

The latter pair are still on the election campaign trail as official Tory parliamentary hopefuls, while Mason and Lee are on leave.

Shadow Education Secretary ­Bridget Phillipson told the BBC there was “genuine disgust” among voters over the allegations.

Meanwhile, the Lib Dems called on Mr Sunak to intervene personally, by ordering a Cabinet Office inquiry into the reports.

A spokesman for the Gambling Commission said: “This is an ­ongoing investigation and we cannot provide any further details at this time.”
