  Will they even still be in power at the end of the year? I think they’re just saying this for the sake of saying something.

    They will because they don’t have to call an election until next year, and god knows they’ll try to cling on to power as long as possible

      There’s a lot of pressure on Rishi Sunak right now to call an early election. Primarily because the back benches just automatically assume that there’s going to be more revelations coming (or equally possible they actually know something), and at this point they actually limiting damage by getting out of power early.

      They are thinking about the election cycle after this one.
