The Prime Minister is set to ask the King to dissolve Parliament earlier than expected
The general election will take place on 4 July, Rishi Sunak has announced in a surprise intervention that means Britain will go to the polls earlier than expected., its lowest level for almost three years, in an apparent boost to his claims that the economy is improving following the cost-of-living crisis., a result which implies Sir Keir Starmer will enter No 10 with a landslide victory unless there is significant movement over the coming weeks.
The election, which has to come by January 2025, had been expected in October or November with No 10 repeatedly saying it would be the ‘second half of this year’.The Prime Minister and his Chancellor Jeremy Hunt had been hoping interest rates cuts would come much sooner – allowing the benefit to be felt in voters’ pockets before the election.in a fiscal event in September but higher borrowing of £20bn fuelled by spending on benefits and lower tax receipts have dealt a blow to this plan.
An autumn poll would potentially have allowed the Conservatives to point to interest rate cuts, the start of the Rwanda migration scheme and possible further tax cuts in a pre-election fiscal statement – none of which are now likely to happen much before polling day, if at all. A Labour spokesman said the party’s manifesto is ready – although not yet printed – and the party would be ready to get candidates into what is believed to be between 80 and 100 seats that are currently unfilled.
He added: “We are fully ready to go. We have a fully organised and operational campaign ready to go and we think the country is crying out for a general election. So I would urge the Prime Minister to get on with it.”Property and Mortgages
