Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced that the next UK general election will be held on July 4th. The announcement came during an intense rainstorm and was met with protests and the blasting of the New Labour anthem “Things Can Only Get Better.” Despite recent setbacks, Sunak is hoping that the latest drop in inflation will boost his popularity. Labour leader Keir Starmer welcomed the news and called for a “single-minded determination to win this election.” The Conservative party has been in power for 14 years, and Sunak’s tenure has been marked by controversy.

Britain’s governing Conservative party faces heavy losses in local elections this week, which may expedite calls for the resignation of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Sunak’s fate hinges upon the re-election of high-profile Tory mayors in the West Midlands and Tees Valley, as defeats could force him to trigger a general election earlier than anticipated. Despite recent leadership changes under Sunak, the Conservatives continue to trail the Labour opposition in the polls. Over 2,500 councillors will stand for election in England on Thursday, including Labour mayor of London Sadiq Khan, who is seeking a third term.
