July General Election?

Ministers have been called back to England including the Foreign Secretary and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has cancelled hs TV appearances while Defence Secretary Grant Shapps has delayed his flight to attend a Nato meeting in Lithuania and Rishi Sunak has announced he will be delivering an announcement outside No 10 at 5pm  which can only mean one of two things, either they are all going to be sacked or Rishi is going to call a General Election.
Rumours of a snap election are flying round newsrooms and the bookies have slashed the odds of a general election taking place between July and September with July 4th the most likely.
The latest a general election could be called is January 2025 but it was previously thought that October and December was the most likely outcome but the Prime Minister has decided to go early and
with some government insiders suggesting that Sunak had been persuaded that with the economic backdrop unlikely to improve he would be better off going now.
Labour is around 20 points ahead in the polls and have been consistently ahead since the start of 2022 and Starmer is widely expected to become the next prime minister and end the 14 years of Conservative rule, we can only hope.
