Rishi Sunak has said the general election result is not a “foregone conclusion” despite disastrous local election results and the Tories struggling to close the gap with Labour in the polls.

The prime minister said he was “absolutely determined to fight” in the run-up to polling day to show the government was making a difference to people’s lives on issues including the economy and migration.
