Then look in The Mirror next week to see Keir’s answer.

It comes after Rishi Sunak announced that he was chickening out of holding a general election on May 2. After days of growing speculation he was preparing to go to the country, the Prime Minister said he would not be calling an election on that date, when local elections will be held.

Mr Sunak told ITV West Country: "In several weeks time, we've got elections for police and crime commissioners, for local councils, for mayors across the country. They're important elections and that's what I'm focused on." Pressed whether there will be a general election on May 2, he said: "There won't be a general election that day."

Labour has been calling for the PM to "have the backbone" to call a general election as the "the country overwhelmingly wants change" to end 14 years of "chaos and division and decline".

Pat McFadden, Labour's National Campaign Coordinator, said: "Rishi Sunak should stop squatting in Downing Street and give the country what it desperately needs – a chance for change with a Labour government. The Prime Minister needs to finally come clean with the public and name the date of the election now."
