No general election before 2029, Andy Burnham says

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has firmly stated there will be no general election before 2029, despite recent speculation about an early contest. He explained that he wants to focus on governing and delivering on promises, rather than engaging in "self-serving politics." This comes after polls showed Labour gaining a lead and the party strengthening its team for future campaigns.
