We're going to be struck by a comet. It will make landfall on The Amex the day before the Premier League season opener.

Rats' cocks!

So it's a general election. More lies from the godless cow then.

Sounds like she is throwing her toys out of the pram

I thought General Elections couldn't be called on a whim any more.

Can someone who knows about such stuff explain this for me please.

It needs two thirds of MPs to vote for a motion to hold an election.

Or a no confidence vote in the government. After such a vote other parties are given 14 days to form another government. If none can be formed, a new election is held.

It just needs a 2/3 vote in the House of Commons.

ComRes in the Indy and Sunday Mirror have topline figures of CON 46%(+4), LAB 25%(nc), LDEM 11%(-1), UKIP 9%(-1), GRN 4%(nc). The twenty-one point Conservative lead is the largest anyone has shown for them so far this Parliament (and, hence, the largest since when they were in opposition).....there was also a new YouGov poll in this morning’s Times. Topline figures were CON 44%, LAB 23%, LDEM 12%, UKIP 10%. The twenty-one point lead is the same as the weekend’s ComRes poll and the largest YouGov have given the Tories in government ....

Polls were too good to resist.

This is hard Brexit stuff, really sets up a Tory v everyone else.

 

[Giraffe]

What a bitch, she couldn't just wait a single day for us to have all the media coverage. Selfish.

But I'll be voting for her

 

[TSB]

FEAR FEAR FEAR.
Vote for us or else.

Parliament to vote tomorrow, can see this backfiring on the Tories

 

[Hugo Rune]

This election has been called for the benefit of the Tory Party not the country.
