Piers Morgan versus the Prime Minister has aired and it’s an entertaining watch. After admitting that his children don’t think it’s “cool” to have him as their dad, Sunak tried to show how confident he was with his Rwanda plan that he shook on a £1,000 bet with Piers that he’d get flights off the ground by the election. Chump change…

Whilst he tried to assure the public that his “stop the boats” priority will be achieved, he admitted that his government has failed on the one of the other pledges: cutting NHS waiting lists. Last month, he told Laura Kuenssberg that measures he’s put in place will see a reduction in waiting times by spring. Now it seems he’s accepted defeat… 

UPDATE:  Labour have jumped on the bet;

“Not a lot of people facing rising mortgages, bills and food prices are casually dropping £1,000 bets. It just shows that Rishi Sunak is totally out of touch with working people.”
