[Tory party chairman refuses to rule
out calling an election
Asked if he can "categorically" discount
the prospect of the government calling
a general election, James Cleverly refuses
to do so three times.
"We've been completely clear,
we want to deliver Brexit on 31 October
and we also want to deliver on
the announcements that the prime minister
has been making in the last couple
of weeks," he says.
"We want time in government to do
what people have asked us to do.
The more money for the NHS,
more police officers and
the extra money
going into schools.
"That's what we want to do,
that's what we're focused on
doing and I would encourage everybody
to help us deliver that."
Pressed again, he responds:
"We're hearing people suggest
all kinds of things that they could
try and do, constitutional shenanigans
to try and prevent the government
delivering its agenda.
"We want to get on governing for the
British people. Getting us out of
the EU by 31 October and delivering
on those domestic promises that we've made.
"That's what we're focused on doing."]
