UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has confirmed a general election will take place July 4th.
It comes as the ruling Conservative party trails Labour by 20 points in the polls.
UK political commentator Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that despite that, Labour's not in a good position with its deputy being investigated by police and split views over Gaza.
He says they're also in trouble in that no one really knows what they stand for, but that might not matter as the polls show everyone's had enough of the Tories.
