Hello and welcome to Coffeyhouse Sh, the Spectator's Daily Politics Podcast.

Well, today might be one of those days where it's more than daily because Katie,

rumors are totally sitting at Westminster lights today.

So tell us about what the rumors are.

Yeah, so what happens every couple of weeks in Westminster is everyone decides there's going to be an election,

given we are an election year, and it's come and go gone with potentially a May election. There was

some talk he might be calling soon after the local elections when that didn't

happen lots of people said maybe the summer election room it isn't true and

instead it will definitely be autumn. Yesterday around like 3 or 4 PM I started getting all these messages

some people saying in the civil service some departments there's lots of talk you

and again you have a slight familiarity that is there going to be an election.

Now at that point what tends to happen is you contact people and they will you know the usual people

and they'll say you know, the usual people and they'll say, you know,

calm down.

This is labour, spreading rumors to destabilise the government and destabilise Ritchie

soon.
