UK PM Burnham rules out snap general election within a year

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has ruled out calling a general election in the next 12 months, after opposition parties speculated about an early poll. He said he was focused on people, not his party's prospects. The next election must be held by August 2029. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch had suggested he would go early, while Reform UK's Nigel Farage predicted a vote next spring.
