A growing number are talking about an announcement on Monday. Bookmakers odds are tightening.

Someone's playing games. There's no way there'll be a June election.

Can’t see it myself. Thought October / November more likely.

The theory behind this is, Sunak will get slaughtered in the local and Mayoral elections, and will call a General Election, so he cant be displaced as Prime minister
Who knows?

The longer he leaves it, the more he will get slaughtered.

It still wouldn't surprise me if they hung on until after the New Year. It gives them more time to sow fear and get the shy Tory vote motivated enough to make their way down to the polling stations.

Yep, also wait until after the US elections, hoping for more fear to be sown.

New Year 2025 makes sense politically

The blue haired lazy students who I’m told make up 82% of the Labour vote will be less likely to vote in January because it’s cold and they’ll all be doing Veganuary so will be low on energy

I am not a Tory, but I do see some indicators that things, such as inflation falling, point to a slightly better economic forecast ahead. We are all shallow people, ultimately.

Typical tories clinging onto power for as long as the law allows, making things as bad as possible for their replacements

82% is a low estimate,

I got the figure from an opinion piece written by world renowned pollsters Harry Cox and Dr Mike Rotchburns

Also, what's the chances that Labour can last until 2025 without one of their crankier MPs doing or saying something stupid?

Sirkier has done well to maintain message discipline so far, but Burgon/Butler et al are getting twitchy.
