9:03Now PlayingPolling expert, Professor Sir John Curtice, tells Shelagh Fogarty that the Prime Minister ‘clearly has to persuade the public’ that we are better off under his ‘stewardship’.
There has been speculation in recent days about a potential challenge to Rishi Sunak's leadership amid growing Tory concerns about the Conservative Party’s position in the opinion polls.
The Tories remain around 20 points behind Labour in the polls despite a 'tax-cutting Budget' earlier this month.
The PM used a seven-minute speech in the Midlands to insist the country is "turning the corner", before taking questions from business leaders and reiterating his desire to cut national insurance.
Insisting this is the year Britain "bounces back", Sunak unveiled plans to boost apprenticeships, including £60million funding and cuts to red tape to make it easier for small firms to take on trainees.
He also made the case that the Government's economic plan is starting to bear fruit – and urged both the public and his colleagues to stick with it.
