An unnamed Tory minster tells Sky News delaying the election until the autumn could allow the conflict in Gaza to cause further damage between Labour and its voters.

Earlier this week an unnamed Tory minister told Sky News’ deputy political editor, Sam Coates, they were “worried there might be peace in the Middle East” because the conflict in Gaza is perceived to be damaging the Labour Party’s relationship with its voters.

The minister made the comments amid a debate in the Tory Party as to when Mr Sunak should call an election after the budget last week failed to excite his backbenchers.
