Rishi Sunak didn't hide his excitement as he appeared on This Morning. The Tory leadership hopeful appeared live in the studio on the ITV daytime show on Thursday (August 18) with just over two weeks to go until the country gets a new Prime Minister.
Mr Sunak is currently in the running for the top job at Number 10 alongside Liz Truss. And he has insisted he still has a “shot” at being the next prime minister despite polls consistently putting his opponent as the clear favourite to win the leadership contest and replace Boris Johnson who announced he was stepping down in July.
The former chancellor said he "definitely" has a chance of victory, while warning his rival’s tax-cutting plans could fan the flames of inflation. Mr Sunak said his less radical plans are honest and deliverable, as economists said weak public finances mean large tax cuts are implausible.

Asked on This Morning if he still has a chance of victory after the latest YouGov poll of party members had 66 per cent backing Ms Truss to 34 per cent supporting Mr Sunak, he said: "Yes, definitely." He insisted he has a "shot of being prime minister", adding: "I’m really excited to keep going, I think my ideas are the right ones."
Rishi went on to address some viewers' concerns about inflation and the cost of living. He said, “It’s really tough and it is the number one challenge facing the new Prime Minister. My plans, I announced quite a bit of it as Chancellor, and I want to build on that as PM as the situation is worse than we thought, sadly.
