General Election June 8th

Strange move. Can't see the UK going another 5 years without a general election after this with the two Brexit milestone dates in 2019 and 2021, plus she's just given the SNP another chance to hammer their point home about indyref2, if it's just out of a desire to be an "elected PM" (not that such a thing exists) then it shows a shocking amount of insecurity.

It feels like it's a response to divisions in her own party, as was the EU referendum. Let's hope it turns out as badly.

How anyone from a working class background can vote for the Tories is beyond me. Do you seriously not know what they stand for and whose interests they protect? It ain't yours sweethearts.

Surprised at how many allow Murdoch to form their opinions of Corbyn.

Labour leadership election on the 9th June then?

In that case she's making the same mistakes her predecessor did in letting the tail wag the dog.

Opportunistic !

I will not be voting for the two faced woman that's for sure.

As opposed to the "unelected" or "no mandate" line the left have trotted out over the majority of the last year?

She's giving you a chance to vote your preference in to take us unforward with Brexit and because your preference is too unpopular to win you're moaning? Democracy eh?

Does that mean the Gorton by-election will be called off?

Not surprised as she is just David Cameron with a pair of tits. Neither have a pair of balls.

Stranger things have happened (Brexit, Trump), lets hope this bites her on the arse
