Jeremy Corbyn, the British Labour leader in an interview with Sky News on Sunday morning said that he was preparing for an early election in the UK.
Jeremy Corbyn told Sky News he is “absolutely” preparing to take on Boris Johnson in a general election.
The Labour leader was speaking in Mansfield, a Nottinghamshire town that was represented by the Labour Party for almost a century before it elected its first Conservative MP in 2017.
His words come just days after Johnson took over leadership of the Conservative Party, replacing Theresa May.
The emphasis of Johnson on the domestic agenda in the first hours of his premiership has fuelled speculation he is keeping his options open for a snap general election, despite his strong denials.
The new PM has been given a boost after a YouGov poll for The Sunday Times put the Tories on 31%, up six points on a previous poll, while Mr Corbyn’s party was on 21%, a rise of two points.
