That’s the strong rumours today.

Who gets it your vote if this is the case?

Everyone knows it is Labour for me.

ITS the cycle we all know labour take over borrow borrow make our lives better which is great, then we get into crazy debt then the tories take over cut back because of the debt labour created.

rince and repeat constantly, personally i dont trust any of the parties they are all shite

First Drakeford and now Guessing. Tories have not been good but the war in Ukraine and the epidemic has really had a bad effect on the country. Starmer and Rayner - really. Clowns nationally and in the UK. The party of further debt with no plans at all. I’ll stick with the conservatives .

None of them What a piss poor lot we've got atm .

I just think it’s strange timing by Sunak.

May or October made sense, but July is the worst of all worlds for him.

With Reform getting stronger, not good news on his Rwanda policy and obviously being way behind in the polls - very strange timing when he could have waited a few more months.

Not complaining though.

Always going to be vast majority Labour on here (a Wales-based Forum) but this will be the election of a generation, so careful consideration required

I don't have an allegiance to any given political party; preferring instead to judge on deed and substance

For me, Tony Blair was the last 'in a generation' Prime Minister but he mucked it up big-time with the Iraq War and the broken promises he made

Since he went, the Tories have pretty much ruled the roost, aided by Labour's Jeremy Corbyn's inelectibility

Since then, we have had Boris, Covid, Theresa May, Ukraine and other major issues, which all threw our country's economy into array

I'm no supporter of Rishi Sunak but I do believe he has taken tough decisions that are slowly but surely pulling our economy back on course

So the question for me is 'Do I trust Sunak to finish the recovery job'? Or, 'Do I trust Labour to take over the running of our country and do a better job?'

It's a toughy for me and undecided, as the Tories will always pander to the so-called elite (rich) but Labour, in the main, have rarely delivered when they are in power

Either way, in Wales, my one little vote won't make a difference but I will post it; I'm just not sure where yet

Labour haven't the brains to manage the economy. Their record is disastrous.
Ideally Cardiff should become a micro-state, with the Senedd moving to Gogland where it belongs.

Labour are the lesser of the two evils for me. With the leadership in Westminster we have had in the past 14 years. I wouldn't be surprised if the tories take a hamering in this one.

4th July confirmed by Sunak.

Sunak confirms election to take place on 4 July

Sunak says the king has granted the dissolution of parliament, and the election will be on 4 July.

What has labour ever done for Wales???? even though the same people vote for them year after year whilst living in areas of deprivation with no jobs and standards of living getting worse. The Conservatives are just as bad.

4th July confirmed by Sunak.

Odd, Ned. I thought they'd wait and see...

Handed it to Labour; they only question by how much (to make a difference)

Look at what Labour have done to Wales...

It's Lisa Nandy for me at WN1

None they are all a disgrace and bullshit

Dalman in disguise

The raving looney party as long as its not Labour. Look at the mess we are in here in Wales.

Tories will get a right kicking on 4th July.

Nothing major will change, it’ll be bollox about personal pro nouns and DEI meanwhile the super rich will keep sucking the money up. We need a Javier Mileu to sort it out.

Is the current crop of mps possibly the worse set in decades ? .

I'm a fully paid of the
Tory party. Just been told if Sunak loses his seat
he will lauch a bid for the Bluebirds.

Singapore on the Taff

Be careful folks, it's OK saying what has Labour done in Wales BUT this is for UK as a whole so don't let the useless bunch down the bay cloud your decision.

Agree with you Jules but editing as I’m not getting involved haha

Chris, I don’t understand the timing at all.

A July election only benefits Labour and Reform.

There is zero benefit to the Tories. They could have waited until the Autumn - things could have improved or Starmer could have made a big mistake which would benefit them.

SNP and Lib Dems also won’t be happy with the timing privately.

As a Labour person, I’m confident but not complacent.

Will be campaigning strongly for the next six weeks. It starts tomorrow.

Tory and Labour.
Two cheeks of the same arse.

Least worst time probably worcester.. inflation is down, flights will go to Rwanda, and other parties have less time to prepare.
What will you be campaigning on exactly? Or do you have a plan also..

I'm not so sure. It's a calculated risk by Sunak and the constituency boundaries have changed in their favour. Much will depend on Scotland moving away from the dodgy SNP and lots of constituencies reverting back to red (aaagh!) in England

Were you dropped on your head as a baby?

Here we go again ...

Yep.. me and the 75% that never voted for that shower of shite.
