When Will The Election Be? (Not May 2nd)
Today, we look at the prime minister ruling out a general election on May 2nd, the same day as the local elections. And we look at what extremism means after a new definition was revealed by the government.
After days of speculation in Westminster, Rishi Sunak has told ITV News there won’t be an election on May 2nd to coincide with the local elections. Adam and Chris discuss whether this means the election will now definitely be in autumn, and why rumours of a May election had grown this week.
Plus communities secretary Michael Gove joins Newscast to explain why the government has adopted a new definition of extremism. It will be used by government officials to cut ties or funding to groups deemed to have crossed a line. But why was it needed now?
