Prepare for the 'part-time PM'! Rishi Sunak seizes on Keir saying he tries not to work past 6pm on Fridays as he blitzes election's last 48 hours with 4am visit - while Starmer starts at 10am and dismisses supermajority fears by boasting 'bigger is better' By James Tapsfield, Political Editor For Mailonline Published: 08:31, 2 July 2024 | Updated: 10:07, 2 July 2024 e-mail 140 View comments Rishi Sunak crunched his election campaigning into overdrive today as he seized on Keir Starmer admitting he tries not to work past 6pm on Fridays. As the election battle enters its penultimate day, the PM visited an Ocado plant in Bedfordshire before 5am, and has a frenetic schedule culminating with a 10pm rally in London . The Tories have branded Sir Keir a 'part-time Prime Minister' and accused him of wanting to work a 'four-day week' after he spoke about his determination to hold on to his family time while in office.
The Labour leader also boasted that getting an historic 'supermajority' on Thursday would be 'better for the country', despite warnings against giving any party untrammeled power. Sir Keir's allies condemned the Tory attack line as a 'disgrace' and 'scraping the barrel', saying he would work the hours needed for the job. It comes amid faint glimmers of hope for the Conservatives in the latest polls, with signs Sir Keir's massive lead could be narrowing and the Reform surge has peaked.
More survey are set to be released later as the anticipation builds. As the election bat.
