Is Rishi Sunak going to announce the election date later today? Speculation was – once again – so rife that the Prime Minister might be about to make some kind of announcement that the question came up at Prime Minister’s Questions. And he didn’t answer it. When SNP Westminster group leader Stephen Flynn asked him, Sunak replied that there would be a general election in the second half of the year – which we already know because he cannot now call one for sooner than July anyway.
