Election on June 8 it seems.
June 8th General Election, May has said.
She's taking the Arsenal job.
Tories will win with a landslide, but if the Lib Dems can tap into the people who oppose Brexit (many of whom will vote UKIP or not bother to vote) then they could make huge gains.
Theresa May, though, is losing any credibility. She lets the wind of opinion make her decisions for her, and the Tories nearly ripped up a manifesto pledge for not raising VAT just last month!
Other famous Theresa Maybe u-turns
No General Election before 2020
Must Remain in EU.
Sadly, there are no opposition parties.
Brexit will, obviously, be the main issue (but remember, she has said that there will be open borders for 7 years so a few right wingers will hate that) but take a look at the small print.
The Tories are hell bent on removing personal liberties in the guise of protecting our borders. The Tories are wining and dining with sinister leaders worldwide (Turkey, Saudi Arabia, The Philippines) in the hopes of getting crumbs to replace the loaves of bread we were scoffing before.
My vote, at present, is for the Liberal Democrats but, in a safe Labour seat, it's not going to make any difference. It could very well be the nastiest, but most boring, election for a generation.
Plus, the Tories will not win in 2022 especially because Corbyn will be unable to lead the party on June 9th.

It's safe to say Jeremy Corbyn will resign as Labour Leader on June 9th.
I'm not so sure, he's a stubborn sod. I like him, but he seems to be more concerned with the smaller battles.
It's definitely safe to say there'll be 5 years of more snoopers charters and erosion of personal liberties though. 350 plus Tory MPs faced with little opposition will be a nightmare scenario for the sick, elderly, unemployed and, indeed, employed.
Tories are, for some reason, shitting themselves about the Lib Dems. PMQs was full of weird digs at them about bin collections and fly tipping and nearly every question asked by a Tory was from someone in a marginal Conservative seat.
They definitely see no threat from Labour and probably rightly so.
