PM repeats election will be ‘second half’ of the year
Rishi Sunak repeats his insistence that the general election will take place in the second half of the year amid mounting speculation he could have his eye on a summer polling day.
Answering a question at PMQs from SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn, the prime minister says "there is, Mr Speaker - spoiler alert - there is going to be a general election in the second half of this year”.

King Charles III opened Canada’s new parliamentary session with a rare “speech from the throne”—only the third such address by a reigning monarch in Canadian history. In a powerful and symbolic gesture, the King began with a land acknowledgement, honoring the Algonquin and Anishinaabeg peoples, and called for deeper understanding and action on truth and reconciliation. It was his 20th visit to Canada, but his first as King. The ceremony blended Commonwealth traditions with Indigenous representation unique to Canada’s identity.
