I’m currently listening to professional idiot James O Brien and his guest is saying she expects an announcement today - before the weather gets too warm and the boats increase. |  |

Sunak's just swerved a question on it at PMQs... |  | | |

Would make sense, but can't see it happening to be honest.
Jeremy sounds like Hunt was interviewed this morning and seemed to accidentally let slip that they were planning tax cuts in the Autumn Budget. |  |

A potential change in strategy?
Given that the tax cuts to date have failed to produce any sort of fillip in Tory polling, could they be trailing a further Autumn tax cut as a reason to vote Tory in, say, July? |  |

Possibly.
If announced today it'll come this evening. | |

Skybet has July 2024 as the favourite for the next general election.
The sooner the better. F### The Tories! | |

My first question would be what are they trying to bury today to try and get journalists fixating on an election date again?
No.10 not dismissing an announcement when asked this morning is all this is based on.
If Sunak is stupid/arrogant enough to campaign off the back of one set of inflation figures that he has no impact on (despite what he says), then let him go to the country.
They'll be annihilated |  | | |

Or get the election in before Sunak is overthrown by his own party? |  |

Why would anybody vote for a party promising to lower taxes, given the absolute state of public services in this country? |  | | |

Those seem to be the battle-lines they're trying to draw, though.
Tories as the party of tax cuts, versus Labour as the party of increasing taxes.
They don't care - it just gives them even more scope to argue for the privatisation of such services. | |

If, as speculated, an election is to be called today to take place during the Euros, I can almost see the sense in the timing.
Without over-generalising too much, a good chunk of the base of floating voters could have their attentions elsewhere. Similarly, depending on when within the Euros it is to happen, we could find any televised debates being up against live football in the completion for viewing figures.
Potentially a good way to hold an election whilst avoiding the usual levels of scrutiny. | |

Because generally speaking the electorate is a bit dense. They want the NHS to see them within a week, but they don't want to pay extra for all the Drs, Nurses and GPs it will take to enable that.
They want libraries, but don't want to pay additional council tax to stock and staff them, and so on and so on and so on. | |
