welcome to the programme. plenty of elections around the world this year. now know a bit more about what could be happening here in the uk. rishi sunak says the general election is likely to happen in the second half of this year . he didn t rule out it happening earlier but says his working assumption is later this year. take a listen. so, look, my working assumption is we ll have a general election in the second half of this year, and in the meantime, i ve got lots that i want to get on with. that means cutting people s taxes this saturday. that s a tax cut worth £450 for the average person in work. we can do that because we d halved inflation. i want to keep going, managing the economy well and cutting people s taxes, but i also want to keep attacking illegal migration. last year, we got the numbers down by a third, and now we need to get our rwanda schema through parliament, up and running, so we have a full deterrent. and that s how we are really going to solve this

turn its back on this decline and usher in the hope and change the labour government can bring. the prime minister is now hinting, without setting a date, that it might be later in the year. what s he hiding? why can t he set a date? this squatting in downing street for months on end, dithering and delaying, when the country wants change, what s he hiding? that was his reaction after getting a new year pitch of his own to voters in a speech and breast. in bristol. starmer set out what he called project hope for the downtrodden uk. you re right to be anti westminster, right to be angry about what politics has become but hold on to the flickering hope in your heart that things can be better because they can. you can choose it. you can choose the hope of national renewal, the responsibility of service, what politics can and should be and you can reject the pointless populist gestures,
