Speculation of snap general election dismissed

London: UK Home Secretary Sajid Javid has dismissed newspaper speculation of a snap general election in June, saying that “last thing we want is an election, the people will never forgive us.” The British government is still hoping to secure a time limit or unilateral exit mechanism for the Irish border backstop when the country leaves the European Union (EU) on March 29, he told the BBC’s The Andrew Marr Show. “They want politicians to get on with the job. They have been given a very clear mandate, now it’s our job to get on with it,” the home secretary said. (IANS)
