Boris Johnson used the Queen s Speech on Tuesday to press ahead with scrapping fixed five-year terms between elections, freeing him up to call an earlier poll.
The Prime Minister will regain the initiative to spring a snap contest on Labour, raising the prospect of the next general election taking place before December 2024.
It is one of around 25 Bills that were pledged for introduction in Parliament in the coming year, including flagship reforms to the NHS, an overhaul of the planning system and a crackdown on crime.
