Rishi Sunak has refused to rule out a snap general election as his government is buoyed by a positive downturn in the rate of inflation.
The prime minister said the fall in inflation, from 3.2 per cent to 2.3, shows there are “brighter days” ahead for the UK. This figure is the closest to the Bank of England’s 2 per cent inflation target since the prime minister took office in late 2022.
