Rishi Sunak has finally ruled out a snap General Election on 2 May, after days of mounting gossip and speculation in Westminster.
Speaking on ITV West Country this evening, the Prime Minister categorically ruled out that he will hold a General Election on the same day as the forthcoming local elections.
He told the broadcaster: “In several weeks’ time we’ve got elections for police and crime commissioners, for local councils, for mayors across the country, they’re important elections and that’s what I’m focussed on”.
Asked whether he will hold a General Election on the same day, Mr Sunak bluntly replied: “There won’t be a General Election on that day”.
