A Labour MP who bet £10 with Kay Burley that there would be a May general election called Rishi Sunak a âchickenâ as he paid up. Jonathan Ashworth returned to Sky News less than three weeks after making the wager, presenting Ms Burley a cheque after the prime minister ruled out an early vote. âRishi Sunak chickened out, heâs running scared of the British people,â the shadow paymaster general said. âWe still need that election, he should name the date but I am going to have to pay up.â Mr Ashworth laughed off âdoubling downâ on a June election at the end of the interview.
