Theresa May predicts Tories can win the next general election

Ex-PM urges Sunak to remember impact of blocking a new trans law in Scotland would have ‘on people’

Theresa May has predicted the Conservatives can win the next general election, thanks to Rishi Sunak.

Ms May, whose successor Boris Johnson was forced out of No 10 in the wake of the Partygate scandal, said Mr Sunak could “show people that a Conservative government can be on their side”.

With two years to go, the current prime minister had enough time to “turn it around and … win that election”.
