Tory leader Theresa May may have positioned the forthcoming general election - called three years earlier than she had to - about getting a stronger mandate for negotiating Brexit, but there can be little doubt it's also about taking advantage of the internal war taking place inside the Labour Party over its left-wing leader.
The Labour leader will say his party can "change the direction of this election" by "putting the interests of the majority first".
Mrs May said that if she had not brought forward the date of the election, the Brexit negotiations would have been coming to a head just as the Government was preparing to go to the polls.
Theresa May's plan for a snap general election on 8 June is set to be authorised by MPs later.
Corbyn made little mention of the biggest issue overshadowing the election - Brexit.
But Woodcock said in his video, shared via his Facebook page this evening: "I am intending to seek re-nomination from my local Labour and Co-operative Parties to be their official candidate [at the general election]".
As Tory MPs whistled, the Prime Minister mouthed: "It is true".
The next vote was expected in 2020, but the Fixed Term Parliaments Act allows for one to be held earlier if it can gain the necessary level of agreement from MPs.
He told MPs: "Our children's schools are starved of the resources they need to educate our children in the future", and raised the number of parents receiving letters from schools begging for money for books. "Why should anyone believe a word they say over the next seven weeks?"
As a Remainer (albeit not a very convincing one), she has persuaded voters that she is serious about taking the United Kingdom out of the EU.

The $180 million in compensation taken back from executives includes $69 million from Stumpf and $67 million from Tolstedt. However, he had heard complaints that Tolstedt was "a controlling manager who was not open to criticism", the report says.
Asked Wednesday if he would resign if the result was bad, Corbyn said, "We are campaigning to win this election, that's the only question now".
Britain's main opposition leader has launched his election campaign, painting himself as a populist outsider who will overturn a "rigged" political and economic system. The latest public polling average, taken before May called the election, has the party at 26 percent, behind the Tories at 42 percent.
Labour had been urged not to contest the seat but Mr Corbyn insisted on standing a candidate.
The Labour Leader was much quicker to address the speculation of a Labour-SNP deal at Westminster than his predecessor Ed Miliband.
He said: "There will be no coalition deal with the SNP and a Labour government".
"I want a Labour government that makes sure that £10 an hour is the living wage and is paid to all workers all over the country. Independence would lead to turbo-charged austerity in Scotland - not progressive politics".
When voters are presented with a two-way choice, 47 percent say May would make the better prime minister, compared to 14 percent for Corbyn, according to research by Opinium.
To counter May's popularity with would-be Labour voters, the party's campaign messaging will attempt to ignore her role since the European Union referendum, and remind voters that she sat in Cameron's cabinet for five years, linking her to public spending cuts that have hurt numerous party's working-class core.
Controversial business figures like Sir Philip Green, Mike Ashley, Southern Rail and the chief executives of tax-dodging multinationals should be anxious about the prospect of a Labour victory, he will say.
