Andy Burnham still plotting to hold 2027 election just days after saying he wouldn't

Andy Burnham has left the door open to holding a snap general election in 2027 just days after the Prime Minister insisted he would not force an early poll.

Sources close to the Prime Minister revealed an early election has not been ruled out.


Insiders believe May 2027 could be a good time for Mr Burnham to go to the polls amid warnings from pollsters about Labour losing its Commons majority.

“There is a growing school of thought that there might be a sweet spot for an early general election," a No10 source told The i Paper.
