honestly think the parties best chance at this point would be to get rid of Sunak and get this guy to lead them into the election, attempt to switch the focus from politics to inspiring tale of triumph over adversity, I came back from having both hands and feet amputated and the tory party can come back from being 20 points behind in the polls etc

Also, on the "but we've booked our holidays" point, this isn't as trivial as it sounds.It's not just journos but MPs, spads, MINISTERS who got the green light from No10 that the summer was safe.That's a lot of ill will to kick of a campaign with.

Sunak says voters don't know what they're getting with Starmer because he doesn't keep promisesSunak says he is guided by what is right, not by what is easy.He goes on:I can’t say the same thing for the Labour party because I don’t know what they offer.And in truth I don’t think you know either.And that’s because they have no plan. There is no bold action. And as a result the future can only be uncertain with them.On the 5th of July, either Keir Starmer or I will be prime minister. He has shown time and time again that he will take the easy way out and do anything to get power.If he was happy to abandon all the promises he made to become leader leader once he got the job, how can you know that he won’t do exactly the same thing if he were to become prime minister?https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/03/Josep_Maria_García.jpg

Requesting permission to dissolve parliamentThe prime minister has already requested permission from the King to hold a general election, as the power to dissolve parliament - end the session - legally lies with him.Parliament must be "dissolved" for an election to officially take place. Polling day then takes place 25 working days after that date.Mr Sunak said in a speech outside Downing Street on Wednesday that the King had granted his request to dissolve parliament.As a result, parliament will be prorogued on Friday, 24 May, while dissolution will take place on Thursday, 30 May.
