But certainly the week after the local and mayoral elections is the week of maximum danger for the Prime Minister, especially if the local and mayoral results are disastrous for the Conservatives.
There is nothing in the rules saying he can't call it on a Bank holiday but it would give him alot of breathing space since House of commons wouldn't be sitting and 1922 committee wouldn't be able to strike there blow.
