Sky’s Kay Burley reckoned election would be called in November, but Irish ambassador Martin Fraser was on the button

Kay Burley was guest of honour at a Journalists' Charity reception hosted by Irish Ambassador Martin Fraser at the Irish Embassy in London. Photograph: Sky As secretary general to the Department of the Taoiseach, Martin Fraser was Ireland’s top civil servant before his move to London. Having spent 20 years of his time here working on Anglo-Irish affairs, he has a finely tuned knowledge of UK politics and a network of first-rate contacts.

The conversation turned to the possible date of the next election and Kay, with the utmost confidence, declared that Rishi Sunak would go to the country on November 14th. Swore blind that this would be the case. She said this means that she can look all politicians squarely in the eye, secure in the knowledge that she has never voted for them or any of their rivals.Wonder if Ambassador Fraser has placed any wagers on the outcome of the European elections in Ireland South.

On Friday, Donegal-based Senator Niall produced the hissy fit of the campaign so far at his party’s European campaign launch in Dublin. He didn’t just throw the toys out of the pram; he pegged them squarely at Micheál Martin’s head.

Then the Taoiseach, Tánaiste and Green Party leader took to the steps of Government Buildings and made the historic announcement.
