"UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak Hints at Late 2024 Election Timing"

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak anticipates a general election in the latter half of 2024, focusing on managing the economy and addressing illegal migration. Despite not ruling out an earlier election in May, his immediate goals include economic stability and tax cuts. The Conservative Party, led by Sunak, is currently trailing in polls behind the Labour Party, led by Keir Starmer, who is pushing for change and criticizing Sunak's leadership. Sunak aims to fulfill his pledges, including reducing immigration by small boats and improving the economy, while facing internal party challenges and opposition from the Labour Party and the right-wing Reform UK party. A spring budget announcement on March 6 is expected to address some of these issues.
