Rishi Sunak said the next UK election may be closer than polls suggest now, raising the prospect of a hung Parliament where no party has overall control.
The prime minister’s remarks follow defeats for the ruling Conservative Party in local and mayoral elections last week and aim to undermine the confidence of the Labour opposition in taking office for the first time since 2010.
