Speaking to reporters in Madrid at the G7 summit, Boris Johnson insisted to that the idea of an early election ‘hasn’t occurred to me’, but he refused to rule out calling a snap poll.
When questioned, the Prime Minister repeatedly failed to rule out the prospect of going to the country before the next scheduled election in 2024.
He added: ‘The idea hadn’t occurred to me, if you really want the truth, because I’m focused on getting through the cost-of-living pressures, developing and improving, widening, our plan for a stronger economy, and making sure that we continue to offer leadership on some of the tough global issues the world faces.’
Sir Keir has been under pressure from senior Conservative MPs over allegations he broke Covid-19 rules in Durham last April, when he was filmed having a drink and a curry with colleagues.
