But Rishi Sunak insists the election isn’t over. He has not given up on winning.

That’s despite wet weather continuing to plague his campaign - this time causing zero GDP growth in April. The news coming just a day after he declared that the economy has “turned the corner”.

  • The Tories had a large majority in 2019 and pushed anything they wanted to do through. So why complain about the Labour party doing the same.
  • @eekamoose
    Zero growth? How can this be? All the Brexit supporters who leave comments on YouTube are telling us that the British economy is racing ahead of all the other countries in the European Union...

    Lead the country ? - Ritchie Sunak couldn't lead starving kittens to a bowl of milk.

    Watching Sunak is like watching a guy pass kidney stones right in front of you while he is pretending that everything is OK.
  • @rayjennings3637
    He's exactly what we want - a Prime Minister in complete denial!
  • I love how the political commentators have every excuse not to vote Labour. Except having a better policy. Looking forward to reports on a smaller Labour majority will reduce sunspots and solar flares.
  • Love how all the kids were giving "If we ignore it hopefully it wont talk to me" look.
  • @stephenford2758
    This is why Sunak has called the election in July and November. Because the economy is shrinking.

    14 years running the country down I couldn’t get a dr’s appointment until a month time. No dentist appointment where I lived. Whatever you do make sure you are registered to vote and have your say.
