There are “very strong” rumours in Westminister that a General Election could be called this week, Guardian political correspondent Jessica Elgot has said.

Boris Johnson has called a cabinet meeting ahead of a no-deal showdown with MPs when they return from the summer recess.

The government has been accused of trying to “purge” Tory rebels who oppose it over Brexit.

According to BuzzFeed reports they have been informed that any MP who does not vote with the government this week will immediately have the whip withdrawn and be deselected.

BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said today that there are “very real, very live conversations happening at the moment” on whether or not the government should call an election “in the next 72 hours”.

Jeremy Corbyn told Sky that Labour will back a general election under any circumstances if Johnson were to call one.

“Of course, we are the opposition party, we want a general election”, he said.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
