A defiant Rishi Sunak said the Tories can still win next week’s general election despite languishing in the polls as he insisted the UK is a better place to live now than in 2010.

Mr Sunak defended the Conservative record in government against what he described as a “declinist narrative” while he faced questions about the state of public services and the economy.
