RISHI SUNAK came under increased pressure to call a general election in May after a poll suggested today the public are running out of patience with the Tories “squatting” in No 10.

The survey by Labour Together found the month was the most popular option with one in three saying they want it then.

More than a quarter of Tory voters opted for the same, with 15 per cent of all voters picking June, 13 per cent October and 7 per cent November.

Just 2 per cent said December and 7 per cent January next year — the latest it can be held.

Half of those polled said delaying the election to then would be “unacceptable.”

The Prime Minister has not ruled out a snap poll amid speculation he could set the date within days.

Labour Together director Josh Simons said: ”The public are crying out for change, desperate to hand Mr Sunak his P45.

“For once, he should put the country first and let Britain go to the polls rather than squatting in Downing Street.

“Then the grown-ups can get on with fixing the mess made by the Tories over the last 14 years.”

Support for the Tories across Britain fell to a record low of just 20 per cent, according to an Ipsos survey last week.

The party’s backing has plunged by seven points from 27 per cent in January, a gaping 27 percentage points behind Labour.

Former prime minister Theresa May last week joined a sixth of Tory MPs who will not stand for re-election.

Labour Together interviewed 2,014 adults in Britain online between February 18 and 20.

Parliament must be dissolved at least 25 working days before an election.
