The prime minister told ITV West Country that voters across the UK will not have to go to the polls “on that day”.It brings to an end months of speculation and means the election is almost certain to take place in the autumn.But Sunak said: “In seven weeks’ time we have local elections, including in Gloucester where I was talking to them today. We have police and crime commissioner elections, we have mayoral elections.
“That is why lifelong Conservative voters have switched to the Liberal Democrats in their droves and will vote for a hardworking local champion, rather than another Conservative MP who will take them for granted once again.” “Until the day to call it has passed, we are prepared for the election to take place on the usual day in the election cycle.“Rishi Sunak should stop squatting in Downing Street and give the country what it desperately needs – a chance for change with a Labour government. The rime minister needs to finally come clean with the public and name the date of the election now.”
