Rishi Sunak has claimed he stopped a Covid lockdown at the end of last year, which he believed was 'hours away' from being imposed
"And I came back and fought very hard against the system because I believed that would be the wrong thing for this country, with all the damage it would have done to businesses, to children's education, to people's lives."
He added that his actions had "challenged the system" which showed voters he is "prepared to push hard and fight for the things that I believe in even when that's difficult".In a wide-ranging interview, he also told Andrew Marr that "all the evidence" showed Liz Truss, his rival for the Tory leadership, would lose an election to Labour.
Recent polling has shown Mr Sunak may lose to Ms Truss in the final vote by Tory members as to who should take over the party. He also claimed that his family's background as immigrants was the reason he believed the Rwanda asylum seeker plan was viable and that he could get it to work.
