Episode description

The Prime Minister has pretty much ruled out a May election.

He said today that he is "working on the assumption" that the General Election will be in the second half of the year... but he is yet to nail down an exact date.

We discuss why he's holding out, the possible dates to put in your diary and how that could cross over with the US Presidential election in November.

And later, the Labour leader Keir Starmer sets out his ambitions for the election year.
