Prime Minister ends a day of speculation with long-awaited announcement
Mr Sunak spoke outside 10 Downing Street today to confirm that the country will go to the polls on July 4 - in around six weeks time.
The Conservatives and their under-pressure leader have been significantly behind Keir Starmer's Labour Party for a long time and face an uphill task to retain power. Mr Sunak clearly believes the improving economic outlook gives him his best chance of an upset. But while many had been speculating that this would mean an autumn election, Mr Sunak has chosen to go earlier in the second half of the year by naming July 4 as the date of the hugely anticipated vote.
Labour currently have just 205 seats while the Conservatives boast 344. This means Labour need to win an extra 121 seats on top of what they already have to form a majority government.
