PM giving regional radio interviews in run-up to next month’s local elections
On BBC Radio Newcastle Sunak was also asked when he would call an election.
Faced with this question in an earlier interview, Sunak declined to repeat his line about an election in the second half of the year being his working assumption. (See 8.36am.)
Because there’s an official way we do that. I’ve said very repeatedly and clearly that my working assumption would be that we have a general election in the second half of the year. There’s been no change to that. So I’ve been very clear about that.
