Stephen Flynn has labelled Rishi Sunak "feart" if he doesn't call a summer election as rumours swirl that one could be called on July 4. The SNP Westminster leader directly challenged the Prime Minister over this speculation, with the Tory leader refusing to confirm or deny this. Mr Flynn, whose Aberdeen South seat is one of those at risk due to a Unionist resurgence, asked Mr Sunak directly whether these rumours were true. Does the Prime Minister intend to call a summer general election? Tory MPs have been ordered into a meeting at 4pm, with the Prime Minister hoping falling inflation rates might help him cling on.
