Asked if he fears the possibility of Nigel Farage standing in the election, Rishi Sunak said there should only be two choices for voters on 4 July.
Speaking at a campaign event in Oxfordshire, the prime minister said: “At the end of the day on July 5th, one of two people will be prime minister, either Keir Starmer or me. A vote for anyone who is not a Conservative candidate is just a vote to put Keir Starmer in No 10.
“So, if you’re someone who cares about tackling migration, both the boats and legal migration, if you’re someone who wants a more proportionate, pragmatic approach to net-zero that saves people money, and if you’re someone who wants lower taxes, it’s only the Conservatives that are going to offer those things. And that’s the choice at this election.”
He added: “Who would they rather see in No 10 on July the 5th, working on these issues? Is it Keir Starmer or is it me?”
