Rishi Sunak has called a general election for the 4th of July. Why has the prime minister called an election now?
Subscribe here: / @newstatesman
After a day of increasing speculation, Rishi Sunak called the next general election which will take place on the 4th of July. Sadly, for him, he was almost drowned by the pouring rain, and drowned out by the pounding of D:Ream's ‘Things Can Only Get Better', the song widely known as Labour's 1997 anthem.
To kick off the New Statesman's general election coverage, the team review yesterday's events, the prime minister's potential motives, and the kickstarting of campaigns.

A shame that the UK has not got any proper party to vote on. That in combination with the shortsighted average UK voter. Nice to know that ONLY Lib Dem was against Brexit. No other party was ... and WHAT happened to Lib Dem. Dear UK ... you did it ... yourself.

The Tories were terribly adamant that the rise in inflation was entirely due to outside factors, so how can they possibly claim that the reduction in inflation is due to them???

You're no understanding Sunak's viewpoint. He is a Goldman Sachs Finance Bro. UK PM and Chancellor of the Exchequer are seen as the public Service aspect of his career. Some become US Treasury Secretary, some become head of the IMF or World Bank. His accession to PM is ssen as an accident, and will not be held against him.

PM Rishi was announcing a fight not a tea party. You don't bring brollies to a fight. If you are getting ready for a fight you can't seem to be bothered by rain worth a few drops. And if you call that a rain then I can only presume most Londoners haven't seen one really. Besides, what is wrong with getting wet in rain? It is fun and rejuvenating. Carrying un umbrella for a few drops of rain appears quite lame and cattish.

Why are we talking about reform before we talk about the greens? The greens saw historic gains never before seen in the locals and are a serious force in their target constituencies, Reform are two edgelords in some councils currently...absurd.

Reform won't get seats, but they have the potential to cost the Tories many seats, and thereby have more impact on the outcome.

@@cv990a4 This is fair but they are also losing seats to the Greens and in greater number. This is a general election between the two fringe parties as well as the two main parties, to see who ends up having a greater sway on the central policy. It's time to move the overton window left.

@WilliamAhlert 4 месяца назад

@@mrD66M that will happen regardless. The fact of the matter is, a Tory is a Tory no matter the colour of the rosette. It’s vital that we send a message to the labour leadership than their moderate politics and lack of ambition to tackle wealth inequality will cost them votes. It’s the only way they will listen - otherwise they will get the message that they can abandon policies, abandon their principles and betray their mandate and still get all the votes they want…this is a dangerous precedent to set.

The premise of "no more tax cuts" in the face of an economy growing at 2.5% per year versus a forecast of 0.5% by the OBR is nonsense. Sunak and Hunt know that but the panel don't. That's disappointing economic naivety/lack of nous
