"My constituents in Brentwood and Ongar, along with over a million people across the country, have made their views clear on this Labour Government - the most unpopular in history. They have broken promise after promise and carried out U-turn after U-turn. It is clear that people are crying out for a credible alternative. Only Kemi Badenoch and the Conservatives have the team and the plan to deliver the change this country needs."
"The Prime Minister can call a general election at a time of their choosing by requesting a dissolution of Parliament from the Sovereign within the five-year life of a Parliament. The Government was elected by the British people on a mandate of change at the July 2024 General Election. This Government is fixing the foundations and delivering change with investment and reform to deliver growth, with more jobs, more money in people's pockets, to rebuild Britain and get the NHS back on its feet."
More than one million voters have signed a petition calling for an immediate general election, and the petition will be debated in Parliament on Monday. A Politico poll of polls shows Sir Keir Starmer and the Greens at 16%, the Conservatives at 18% and Reform UK at 29%. Alex Burghart said constituents view the Labour Government as the most unpopular in history, accusing it of broken promises and repeated U-turns and asserting only Kemi Badenoch and the Conservatives can deliver change. Lamont cited mistakes including a tax on jobs, the Family Farm Tax, a U-turn on Winter Fuel Payments and Digital ID. The Cabinet Office said the Prime Minister can request dissolution from the Sovereign within Parliament's five-year term and defended the government's July 2024 mandate, saying it is delivering investment, reform, jobs, NHS recovery and secure borders.
