Nothing massively new in PM’s statement just now, clear No 10 reckons they have to win the argument about needing to have an election in the first place
Clear also they are going to make a lot of the idea that Parliament wasn’t working - PM said he’d been ‘chewing his tie in frustration’
Tories hope Johnson will start to look happier out on the road - like Corbyn, he’s happy in front of the crowds, more visibility, more capacity for gaffes
