Rishi Sunak planning for election in 2024 after cutting income tax, suggesting a change in government.
As we approach the 2024 general election, the government is taking measures to ensure the people of the UK feel the positive effects of their policies. A senior government source revealed that the main objective is to make sure that people ‘have more money in their pockets’ by the time of the election. To this end, the government is considering cutting the headline rate of income tax, increasing the national living wage, and lowering the age threshold for the living wage from 23 to 21. The proposed national living wage will rise to £11.16 per hour in April 2024, in light of the current cost of living crisis. In addition, the Illegal Migration Bill is being implemented to reduce the number of refugees coming across the Channel.

With the Conservative Party currently trailing behind Labour in the polls, any move to call an early election has been firmly rejected, and the government is looking to demonstrate the positive effects of their policies over the next two years.

The government is aiming for the next general election to take place in autumn 2024, with Rishi Sunak's team reportedly eyeing October and November as ideal months. This is to give the Prime Minister two years to make meaningful changes to the economy, in order to boost his re-election chances.
