Spring election is unlikely - Sunak
The Herald|January 05, 2024
RISHI Sunak has said he is working towards a general election in the second half of the year after coming under pressure to call a vote soon.
Spring election is unlikely - Sunak

The Prime Minister said on Thursday it is his “working assumption” that he would not be sending the public to the polls in the spring, as opposition figures have been talking up.

Mr Sunak dangled the prospect of future tax cuts to voters and attacked Sir Keir Starmer’s green proposals as the two leaders set out their stalls at the start of the election year. Labour has claimed that a spring vote is the “worst kept secret in Parliament” in a possible ploy to claim Mr Sunak has bottled it if he goes longer.
