Rishi Sunak insisted “nothing has changed” in his thoughts on the timing of the general election being in the second half of 2024.
The Prime Minister declined to rule out going to the country in May in the wake of the Budget announcement of a national insurance cut timed to come into effect in April.
But he said it remained his “working assumption” that the election would be later in the year.
The tax cut announced in Jeremy Hunt’s Budget on Wednesday triggered a fresh wave of speculation at Westminster about the possibility of a May polling day.
The Prime Minister fuelled that speculation during an appearance on BBC Radio 2 when he declined to rule out a May vote.
“I’m not going to say anything extra about that,” he said.
“What I would say is what matters is the choice at that election, and the choice, especially after this Budget, is clear.
“Our plans are working. Of course there’s more work to do, we are starting to deliver the change that people want to see and if we stick with that plan people can have the peace of mind that there is a brighter future for them and their families.”
The Sun’s Trevor Kavanagh claims there have been conversations in the Tory Party about whether it is too late to replace Rishi Sunak as leader.
“It’s difficult to imagine anyone taking the reins of this runaway horse and bringing it back to an even keel."
