minus-squareAutoTL;DR@lemmings.worldBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·11 months agoThis is the best summary I could come up with: Rishi Sunak has appeared to rule out holding a general election in the spring. During a visit to Mansfield, the prime minister said: “My working assumption is we’ll have a general election in the second half of this year.” Labour has claimed that a spring vote is the “worst kept secret in Parliament”. And the Liberal Democrats have called on Mr Sunak to hold the vote in May rather than trying to “cling on” to power for the rest of the year. But Mr Sunak told broadcasters on a visit to a youth centre: “I’ve got lots that I want to get on with.” He declined to rule out a May election categorically, but repeated his intention to go for later in the year. The original article contains 194 words, the summary contains 124 words. Saved 36%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
