Theresa May: 'I'm not going to be calling a snap election'
WPA Pool / Pool
When asked by Andrew Marr whether she has considered calling a snap election, the prime minister said that "I've been very clear that I think we need that period of time, that stability - to be able to deal with the issues that the country is facing and have that election in 2020."
There have been calls by some Conservative Party members for the prime minister to call an election now as the party is doing well in the polls and could gain a wider majority in Parliament. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has also backed calls for a snap election.
The television interview is the prime minister's first major interview since taking office in July.
