Theresa May is to make a statement in Downing Street at 11.15am today after Cabinet.

In an unusual move, Number 10 did not announce what subject she would address.

But statements by the Prime Minister in the street are usually reserved for big announcements.

There is speculation that Mrs May could call a snap general election.

But Downing Street has always denied she will call a vote before the next scheduled poll in 2020.

BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg tweeted: "PM making a statement in Downing Street at 1115 - only normally used for most serious moments.

"Watch election rumour mill go crazy.... has May decided to go for it?"

Robert Peston, ITV political editor, added: "Theresa May making statement in Downing St at 11.15. Syria? NK? Or just poss that thing I always thought she would do, ie election? Flip!"

Kevin Maguire, of the Daily Mirror, wrote: "What Theresa May could announce at 11.15: Election, quitting, war, Brexit 2nd ref, scandal, death of Larry the cat."
