- He’s finally set the date. Late this afternoon, Rishi Sunak made a surprise announcement, calling for an election on July 4.
Kamal Ahmed and Camilla Tominey rush back to the studio to give their snap reactions on why now and what happens next, joined by former Brexit Secretary David Davis.
Plus, they scrutinise the tearful testimony of former CEO of the Post Office Paula Vennells after she finally appeared before the inquiry into the Horizon IT scandal and ask, will anyone ever be held accountable for the harm done to sub-postmasters?
They also reflect on the MP Craig Mackinlay’s remarkable return to parliament six months on from a life-threatening battle with sepsis which led to the amputation of both of his hands and feet.

Makes no difference, Reform voters in my opinion would rather waste their vote than give it back to this Tory party.
Perhaps Reform could win the election.
Very true 😊
This is an election for the millions of Tory voters, myself included, who feel betrayed and wish to enact revenge, even if it means a chance for Labour to prove their not as terrible as we know they almost certainly will be. Hence I'm voting Reform. If they don't put up a candidate and there's no Independent or Monster Raving Looney Party candidate, I'll spoil my ballot
They just reform their name to "Wasted Vote" ;)
The tears of the Torygraph are delicious 😂
True 😊
Vile Vennells needs to dry her tears. She was stone cold when her subordinates were wrongfully convicted, so her emotion now is worthless.
vennells cried so much, it could have been her tears falling on sunak! 'raindrops keep falling on my head'!!
i remember as a nurse on a dementia ward and every time something problematic happened the first thing the manager addressed was the "duty of candour"...
My God! Who planned this announcement? He’s being rained on and someone is playing loud music to drown him out. No pun intended. His bags are already packed for Santa Monica, California after he loses. It’s no surprise he picked July 4-America’s Independence Day-as the day he ends his time in the UK.
things can only get better
He should have waited until January.
usa schools start in August!!!!!
Makes no difference to those that died their own lives as a result and makes practically no difference to those still whose lives and livelihoods were ruined for years because of the Post office scandal.
It is going to be interesting to see if the Labour Government will continue to block the sale of the Telegraph, as the Tories have; this pair of beauties really shouldn't be wasting their time pyscho-analysing Sunak, and should, instead, be updating their CVs or familiarizing themselves with the Universal Credit application process?
Isn't July 4th a special day for Eton?
June.... June... Unfortunately...
Has Sunak has been advised that the economy could get worse before November. If so, he may be going now, when there's recently been better economy news.
But why announce July 4th now, and not in a couple of weeks?
Vennell is lying she must go to prison . ..
It is thanks to the Beano that I saw the point of learning to read, which my teachers and family had hitherto failed to do. My big brother used to read it to me and I got frustrated and wanted to be able to read it myself
Sunak will be living in the US in a few months. Sunak's more concerned with his CV and his future political career that will have nothing to do with the UK.
It's Jo Hamilton I believe
It may have to do with the migrating patterns of Indian population in UK, as summer is the visiting time for parents and grandparents from the subcontinent (and they are eligible to vote n referendums, general elections, etc.)
I'm more concerned about finding the benefit of the infected blood stuff coming out myself!
I don't really follow politics, don't even have a TV and the last 20yrs of my life has been about getting rid of the HCV diagnosed around the millennium!
have labour even published their manifesto??
Yes it's the same as the Conservative Party 😊
Paula Vennells crying for who?
At last Rishi is showing backbone, in my opinion he is calling an early election because he is confident that he will be able to convince people that his plan is working and also let the country chose what sort of government they want. Why should Rishi carry on putting up with all the negativity from his own MP’s and Teheran general public.enough is enough. If British people vote for Labour they will regret it big time because they would be a disaster for our country
She's not a journalist, she's a cheerleader on staff
Tominey spouting the same tory crap. Great to them both off the screens after 4july.
Pity Labour has no plans to put the Telegraph out of business when it comes to power.
Kamal on institutionalised lack of accountability: "Why does it need a law for us to be able to do the right thing?" R (Australia)
He simply knows in his waters that the games up.. 🤷
stripped of a CBE🙂
Vennell's tears, sorry she had to fess up. I can't think of anyone who would give her a shred of sympathy. Jail is the only place she would be able to hide.
Farage wont stand.
Farage is more interested in being involved with squawk back radio and tv.
Is compulsory conscription to fight in Ukraine be part of the open election campaign?
No one is interested in what he’s got to say anymore. People want a change and nothing will help the Tories out of the hole now. I’m voting Labour because I’m sick of the continuous stream of under performing ministers and divisive politics.
He knows he won’t win so has bottle out and thinks I don’t need this 💩I’m loaded so I don’t care why make the effort for these minions🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Telegraph 😂😂😂😂 deluded
If British citizens choose the Labour Party or any party other than the Conservatives, it could potentially transform their nation into an Islamic state.
