Introduction

Rishi Sunak has claimed a general election is "not what the country wants" but insists he is unafraid of going to the polls.

On the Sky News Daily with Niall Paterson, our political editor Beth Rigby talks about her morning interview with the prime minister.

And Niall sits down with Katie Perrior, former director of communications at 10 Downing Street for Theresa May, and William Hague's former special adviser Chris White to discuss the election chances of the Tory Party.
