Rishi Sunak will declare next week that he is making 'good progress' on turning round the economy and stopping the boats.
In a new year fightback, he is planning a series of 'town hall' meetings across the country to hammer home his success in meeting a self-imposed target to halve inflation this year.
The Prime Minister will also point to a 2p cut in National Insurance, which takes effect next week, as evidence that the Tories are finally returning to their tax-cutting approach.
And he will highlight figures showing that illegal Channel crossings are down by more than a third in a year when illegal migration has risen across Europe.
