With British voters going to the polls on June 8, the big parties did not want to waste any time ahead of the official launches of their election manifestos.

YouGov poll on behalf of The Times puts the Conservatives in a massive lead.

"There are many great Labour candidates and MPs and I will be fully supportive of them".

The latest in a line of polls taken after the snap general election announcement shows that the ruling Conservative party looks unbeatable right now.

Tony Blair's centrist Labour Party, meanwhile, has been replaced by Jeremy Corbyn's quasi-Marxist leftists, who will campaign on an agenda of much higher taxes, much more spending and heavy skepticism not only toward the European Union but also toward North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, the United States and all remaining trade organizations, worldwide organizations and historic British allies. Twelve percent opted for the Liberal Democrats and 7 percent chose UKIP.

In his first major speech of the election campaign he will paint a picture of Labour as a party which can stand up to the rich in a "rigged system". He told cheering supporters: "It is the establishment versus the people and it is our historic duty to make sure that the people prevail. A duty for all of us here today, the duty of every Labour MP, a duty for our half a million members - including the 2,500 who have joined in the last 24 hours".

"Instead of the country's wealth being hidden in tax havens, we will put it in the hand of the people".

"If I were Southern Rail or Philip Green, I'd be anxious about a Labour government", he will say.

Theresa May's Conservatives now hold 330 of the House of Commons seats while Labour has 229.

"We face an unfettered out-of-control Conservative government".

"If they truly trusted the British people - and wanted to give them a real say over the future direction of this country - then they would have committed to a democratic vote on any final deal", she said.

Corbyn said he did not want an election about Brexit - an issue that has exacerbated tensions in his deeply divided party - but about what kind of country Britain should be.

The Daily Express says an early election will bring Westminster in step with the electorate, says rescuing May from the indignity of "commanding a tiny majority among MPs despite having enormous support among members of the public".

Downing Street is considering proposals from broadcasters, including Sky News, which could see the Prime Minister being interviewed in front of a live studio audience.
