Greenbank in reply to @greentricky

Most perplexing thing is Sunak called this snap election, would love to know what analysing he was being given that this was the best time

The rumour is that he was about to get ousted by letters to the 1922 committee. His only option to prevent the leadership contest was to call a GE. He wanted to go out as PM and blame the catastrophic loss on all of the Tory party, not just him.

Yes, most have already forgotten the results of the Local Elections in early May, which contributed to fewer motivated Tory volunteers for the GE campaign.
