RISHI Sunak appealed for the Tories to stop the infighting warning it could cost them a return to Downing Street.
The ex-Prime Minister issued a farewell message at the annual rally following Labour’s devastating 174-seat election win calling for unity.

He said: “Whoever wins this contest, give them your backing. We must end the division, the backbiting, the squabbling.
“We must not nurse old grudges but build new friendships.
“We must always remember what unites us rather than obsess over where we might differ.
“Because when we turn in on ourselves we lose and the country ends up with a Labour Government.”
He also blasted Sir Keir Starmer saying the Tories couldn’t let him “re-write history” with his doom and gloom forecasts on the economy.
Mr Sunak said he had left the country with inflation back on targetmortgage rates falling and the fastest growing economy in the G7.
He also attacked the government’s “cruel” decision to take away the winter fuel allowance which is worth up to £300 for some pensioners.
