Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has set an election date (sort of) ruling out an election in the first half of the year – that’s his “working assumption” anyway. 

The phrase “working assumption” does give Sunak wriggle room should circumstances change, and he has not ruled out a spring election.

But experts suggest a Mid-November election is most likely and with the Tories still trailing behind Labour by around 20 points in the polls, the longer Sunak can drag the year out, the better chance it’ll be for him. 

Polling suggests that despite the Tory noise around immigration, it’s the economy and the NHS that are the two top concerns for the British public.
