The most recent Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has visited Macclesfield for the first time.

It comes just one day after parliament was dissolved.

Rishi Sunak spoke with Macclesfield Conservative Association at a cow farm in Macclesfield, with the Conservative candidate David Rutley.

The high-profile visit comes just three days after Lord Cameron, another former Conservative Prime Minister visited Macclesfield.

David Rutley MP is one of seven candidates running in the 2024 UK General Election.
