Rishi Sunak 'will call a General Election TONIGHT': PM poised to take huge gamble on July 4 contest after summoning ministers back from trips for Cabinet - despite Tories warning he has 'death wish'

Daily Mail  

Election fever is in full swing today amid mounting signs that Rishi Sunak will pull the trigger on a contest within hours. Snap election rumours swept Westminster with speculation Rishi Sunak could pull the trigger as early as today There is intense chatter this morning that Mr Sunak could spring a bold surprise, despite Labour being miles ahead in the polls Your browser does not support iframes. Johnny Mercer vented his frustrations in a bombshell memo written on his laptop, which was in full view of fellow train passengers as he travelled to London from Exeter The veterans' affairs minister blasted Downing Street aides for allowing Rishi Sunak to hog the limelight and acting as if the PM is still as popular as he was when he first took office Images of Mr Mercer's laptop screen were handed to The Times after being photographed by a passenger in the same carriage on 6 May - four days after the local elections In his memo, the minister for veterans' affairs wrote: 'Political communication seems haphazard, un-themed and loose. But it was not popular and in 2019, Boris Johnson passed a new law which reverted to the previous system of needing only a straight majority vote among MPs to have an early General Election. Back in October last year Mr Sunak admitted hinted that a general election was still a full year away as he marked his first anniversary in Downing Street.
