Rishi Sunak refuses to rule out July general election and praises Rwanda scheme

Rishi Sunak has failed to rule out holding a general election in July, as speculation remains rife over the timing of the national vote.

The prime minister has repeatedly said his "working assumption" is the election would take place in the second half of this year - with the law stating January 2025 is the latest he could call it.

Mr Sunak also spoke to Trevor Phillips about the Rwanda scheme.
