- “They may as well go now and not be prisoner of events.”
Conservative peer Daniel Finkelstein says he’s picked up “a bit of talk in government circles” that Rishi Sunak could call a general election in July because the Tories “don't think that things will improve”.

Please hurry up. Let's just have an election. I'm fed up with this clown show!
This is EXACTY why the GE will be at the 24th of January 2025.
You do realise that Sunak and Starmer are a team? They share a bunk at Davos,
Neither of them are there for the electorate and the moment Starmer gets his landslide, and resulting mandate for his globalist masters, the UK will enter its final death throes.
Farewell civilisation, and we thank you...
@@andreasarnoalthofsobottka2928sadly, yes.
Stop ! I love the podcast.
They're waiting for a sub from the Cayman Islands. 🤔
On what planet is Sunak a decent human. He is NOT
Yes anyone who fans the culture wars and reemploys Braverman definitely isn't an honourable person.
Nasty, British and short....
Doesn't even know how to count to one billion and was Chancellor of The Exchequer. Those books have been properly cooked!
A decent human doesn't endanger the public for petty PR gain (Eat Out To Help Out).
A decent human doesn't break one of his own laws (Party-gate).
A decent human doesn't cave in to racists and scumbags by pushing through a policy already found to be illegal by courts both national and international, and which they themselves are on record saying "won't work" (Rwanda policy).
@@bradwhiteuk He is not decent. If The Internet (media), is so good: Why was it banned here in WWII?
Bring it on i'm sick of waiting.
Yes please tories out.
Their just delaying the inevitable Sinai is.
I heard that democracy has been promised to US Republicans so I don't actually see here an election is coming from (less worlds largest diamond, worlds largest sapphire, less excalibre (whats the calibre)), and I don't think that they even like us (envious as in enviroment).
Don't worry. The Yanks will be paying us for it all (with our own money), which we'll all be paying the odd couple of grand each that we'll get for democracy back to US for The Internet.
You are not allowed to leave for a safe country.
Keep your fingers crossed that they get voted out.
Out forever.
Labour out, Conservatives in, Conservatives win, Rishi is de best.
YES MAKE IT A JULY GE! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 TORIES OUT
Lets be honest, the GE was well overdue this time last year.
It should have happened after the Liz Truss debacle.
Rishi will only call an election after the next Infosys contract is awarded.👍
Expenses scandal. Post Office scandal. Blood scandal. PPE scandal. "Safe and Effective" scandal. Died suddenly scandal.
And which of those wouldn't happen under liebour gubberment???
The only reason they'll call it early to lump Labour with the dodgy blood compensation payments.
But previous Tory PM and Health Secretary Kennth Clark have both been seriously criticised in the report.
it is us that will be paying the compensation sorry to say
No. You will not be getting an election. Democracy has been promised to The USA (why Satan is leading in the polls).
There is no escaping the forthcoming slavery (that's right), whch you have all already agreed to a thousand times.
There is no escape.
bingo 🎯
There doing a lap of honour now about inflation falling and the economy coming out of reccesion, also small boats will keep increasing and inflation will rise in the autumn as fuel and food prices start to go up again.
Also there hoping July will see low turnout along with the voter suppression measures.
We can’t keep going on like this. A lot of us are at the end of coping.
And please… He’s not a decent human being. He’s just not.
Bring it on
There is no point in prolonging the agony. The sooner the General Election the better.
People like you make me laugh. Parliament is to be sold to USA, soon as Satan is elected (November). You will not be getting an election without Satan's say so.
Everybody is agreeing with this at every slight opportunity (especially foreigners wirh Roman blood), who have a history of enslaving the english and are seriously envious of us.
There is no escape.
I absolutely love Peter’s “Gordon growl”.
He won't until last minute
What surely there must be some more money for the tories to steal before they walk off into the sunset
They recently doubled the compensation payments for MPs who lose their seats.
Rishi Sunak will never call a july General election he'll hold onto power for as long as possible
Came for the summer election rumours, stayed for the Eric Heffer stories.
He will stall as long as he can to make more money so corrupt
There’s that Sunak is a ‘decent human’ talking point again! Why are The Times so hung up on that term?
It's code for him belonging to a certain segment of society...
He is decent.
I don't know whether he's a decent human or not, but Johnson and Truss clearly aren't, so I suppose the idea that he might be is something to cling to.
Decent people don’t think human rights only apply to some humans.
He's like Johnson without the charm
If a sheer miracle, Sunak wins there will be civil unrest in the Uk!
And for that reason, he will never win 😂
It'll be a landslide for Labour. We are so done
It won’t be July. But it won’t be January either. A lot more unfavourable bank statements land on voter doormats in January, than any other time of year. The smart money is on a first October election, for exactly 50 years. And possibly on exactly the same date as the second 1974 election: October 10th.
Squatter Sunak has no right holding this country to ransom he should follow the will of the people of whom he’s meant to serve not ignore just to suit his own money grabbing agendas
You can tell when there's no news when they rake up this old chestnut 😂
I’m Australian I don’t know many of the names mentioned but the stories were fun to listen to. Thank you 😊
The Tories are going down hard. They know it and they may as well get it over with.
Nah. I'll believe it when i see it. Until it's called, I will continue to believe they'll leave it until the very last minute.
The infected blood payments are due to start being paid out 'late summer'. What price the Tories cut and run before this.
Make it so!
I must remember the golden rule never question Danny Finkelstein’s logic, he appears to be correct.
He will hang on until the end of the year because he is a cling on.
Love the Yorkshire commentary! We're proud to represent our nation. The White Rose Will Rise! Big up God's own
Well that was as boring as it comes...I think sunak will call the General Election sometime between July and January,, it's just a long shot I know but I'm pretty sure it will happen somewhere in that time scale...but I would put my money on it...
Peter you were right!!! July election
Danny's son has clearly been listening to too much Steely Dan.
Cant listen to too much Steely Dan, great band.
He'll wait till that Indian trade deal is done and dusted what is it £230mil extra passive income 🤔
There's no trade deal without a massive visa scheme, not something easily sold to the public as a win
Ricky needs more time to sell the country off .
So what interest rates reduction is a temporary sweetener before the onslaught of bitterness
1:25 Henderson's Relish > Worcestershire Sauce hands down
Hysterical episode, the balloon story made my day :)
I have stopped referring to Sunak as the Leader of the Opposition in Waiting as I think that title should now be given to Sir Ed Davey.
This is like really needing a good dump and holding it in
yEAH ... he does not want to call during winter with energy / heating costs impacting ?????
Perhaps the predictions of two to three thousand migrants landing every day during the summer has given little Rishi pause for thought.
Please every single BRITISH CITIZEN needs to vote ,,, vote the party who will be the most beneficial for the people and country 🇬🇧
Please do!
Please turn up the sound or fix the audio I can’t hear anything
Surely eventually if you think you’ll lose now and lose by more in the future you’ll just stay in power for as long as possible just to be in power. No one gives up power just to lose by less.
Unless they get kicked out of opposition
Disney's remake of" Robin Hood" will have Rishi play Sir Hiss.
I've just been reminded why i dont buy the times...going to fall asleep in a momment, need to leave,, bye bye...
FFS bring it on and lets get it over and done with. Sunak in the shyte whenever he calls it.
You're thinking about it wrong. They're all assuming there's some kind of clever calculation going on in Sunak's head to pick the best time for the election from a political point of view. But he has no political instincts and is almost entirely passive, reacting to events. He'll call the election on the last day that he's allowed to do so, because anything else would require him to make a proactive decision.
Sunak taking credit for putting right HIS OWN mistakes , thinking we dont know.
I hear that California is very pleasant in the autumn.
Finkelstein wrote a great book about his family's history but his services to Cameron make him persona non grata on my PC screen.
It's a fix a lot of people will be on holiday will there be a time to get a postal Vote if not the vote can not be legal 😢
4th July - You heard it here first
I do wish people would stop saying that Sunak is a 'decent man'. Where is the proof? Rwanda? Attacks on rights toi protest? Chap attacks on trans people? Cuts to foreign aid? Specifically on enquiries - if he's so ';decent', where is the speedy compensation and status rectification for Windrush victims?
Oh yes please. GE cannot come soon enough. Get these clowns out of power
Why wait till July get sunak out now!!!!!
July early if at a tall ?11 or 18 but most believe October before the clocks changing 25ish
Ask Mandy about Jeffrey.
labour mp for Walton, Liverpool
Please please please call an election and get them put of power for the next 300 years. Conservatives.
Richie thinks he will stay on as an mp. What makes him think he will win his seat?
The tragedy is that one person can effectively “manage” our democratic choice. He should not be able to hold us all to ransom, giving away “tax cuts” as bribes (that the public finances cannot afford).
dream on...November
He would have lost more support by then.
@@melgrant7404 economy on the up.. polls narrowing..
@rinkadink66 unfortunately 14 yrs of government isn't on his side. Change is nigh.
I can't abide Mandelson.
Infernal music
So Sunak wants to lose his officer sooner? XD
So I think at this point we can just conclude there will be “rumours” of an election every month until this is an election
Fine being a “Techbro” but not if you have been part of a government which has dismantled public services (which he doesn’t need to use) before going off to live in another country where you will lead a luxurious life.
Rishi will wait til the last possible day to call the next election!
No, he'll wait until his team mate, Starmer, indicates he's ready. They share in their national self-loathing and obey the same non domicile masters.
6 weeks can’t come quick enough, sunak is completely delusional he needs to see what the uk really do think of him, he lives in a fantasy world to actually think we will vote for this continued out of control government for another 4/5 years!!
Oh so Blair and Brown just didn't want an inquiry. Ok, well thats fair enough. FFS
Ahh come on...give it a rest.
All UK politics is based on what the other guy doesnt have rather than what the party who is on topright now, DO have . If shunk thinks labour is going to win, he'll defo pick times when its hard for labour..Given the success of reform uk where they had seats in the locals, I wouldnt be at all surprised if he is looking at what is least convenient for them.
Mandelson is not fit to kiss Eric Heffer's shoes.
Dorris Heffer episode. Best yet
It doesn't matter when he calls it he will be unemployed the very next day.
Yes, Israelis should be experts on this subject, especially one who has a plum job watching cricket.
Fingers crossed. Election ASAP
Either the relevant Regulator should review serious problems rumbling in their industry ... or the National Audit Office should be tasked with investigating problems that have outgrown their originators.
Hurry up ya waste of time so you can be kicked out
Get him out nice and early.Lovely.
I think Sunaj thinks dragging out the election date will make him more popular with the electorate LOL
Labour 25 pts ahead - great moment to go.
1:20 Henderson's Relish is brilliant and superior to Worcestershire Source. You absolutely deserve criticism for bad mouthing it. And I'm not even from Yorkshire!
No chance he has the stones for July
I think the idea is that he has to go to another country to do tech because his own government has invested so poorly in this area at home, or allowed our own companies to have been sold for peanuts to foreign buyers and dismantled.
Will they just let these election date rumours die already. Everyone knows Sunak will push this out for as long as he reasonably can. In what circumstances would any PM this far behind in the polls call an election months before he even needs to. It will almost certainly happen in November.
"Early Election" at 3:30 ... ( Sort of ) ( Did TR get trapped in a pub at lunchtime? ) 🤔
7:32 - Daniel saying lots of stories are against the Tories - can't think why with their record! And the media doing their best to do hit pieces on Labour too, mainly without cause i.e. Angela Rayner, Daniel with his heavy bias again.
They can’t go in July, Danny. Andrew Neil’s show doesn’t start until September.
I hope it comes quickly I can’t wait to vote them out .and bring in reform party
Mandelson so wrong on going on about the Saville enquiry just shows how he misses the point.
Im going out on a limb here and predicting that there will be an election sometime between July and the end of January .
Nonsense. Interest rates haven’t moved downward yet and the fiscal event.
No, October or November
It’ll probably be November. Fishy will use the October conference to launch the manifesto and campaign.
Mandelson lol
I'd be surprised as students are home then. I could see Sunak calling it if they try to oust him though.
