    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    No 10 has refused to quash speculation that the prime minister is preparing to announce an imminent general election or to reshuffle his cabinet.

    Downing Street said it would not rule anything “in or out” after a morning of feverish speculation among MPs and ministers before a cabinet meeting on Wednesday afternoon.

    The prime minister has previously said that he expects Hunt to stay at the Treasury until the election, though his new Godalming and Ash constituency is under significant pressure from the Lib Dems.

    Asked to deny rumours that Sunak would call the election on Wednesday evening, the spokesperson said: “I know there’s a lot of interest in this, as there has been pretty much every week over the last five months.

    David Cameron also had to cut his trip to Albania short so as to be back in London for the cabinet meeting on Wednesday afternoon.

    During exchanges at prime minister’s questions with the SNP leader, Stephen Flynn, Sunak was asked directly whether he was planning to call an election.
