    It’s starting to feel like an election is coming sooner rather than later with this and Sunak’s speech thing the other day

      Sunak is still saying ‘second half of the year’. There’s some procedural stuff that I think means he has to give notice six weeks before the date, so in theory it could still be as soon as July.

      He’ll call it in August when (he hopes) most people are on holiday and won’t bother to vote.

        And it’ll bite him on the arse when he finds out lots of people can no longer afford holidays abroad in the school holidays

          Worse the only ones that can. Tend to be more wealthy so more likely to vote tory.

          Good thing he is unlikely to read lemmy.
