It’s the rumour that just isn’t going away.
Even as Andy Burnham continues to deny that there will be an early election, we are reaching a fever pitch of speculation that such a snap vote will indeed take place.
The Labour Government, with a massive majority, seem to be pushing everything back.
Big decisions ducked and promises made for the future as the country takes a financial battering now.
That leads us to a budget this week some are describing as ‘steady as she goes’ - though with a few surprises still expected.
Over the weekend we’ve seen what the Labour plan is under Burnham: EU open borders are back on the table.
What an insult to Brexit Britain. One that will backfire badly on Burnham and Co.
But there is now clear logic in the argument that everything by Labour is being lined up for the PM to call a snap vote.
This is what appears to now be happening.
