British Prime Minister Theresa May has announced her intention to bring forward a general election for the House of Commons, which had been scheduled for May 2020, to June 8 of this year.
The Prime Minister gave a short speech in a parish hall in Walmsley, a village in the Labour target seat of Bolton North East, as the scramble for votes begins hours after MPs voted to clear the way for the June 8 poll.
"Indeed, the Prime Minister called out the then incumbent, who did not show up for some of those debates".
Calling for a mobilisation of voters to demand clear statements of candidates' positions on Brexit, and particularly whether they would refuse to support an exit that "that substantially diminishes our access to the single market" or a no deal outcome, he added: "We don't know what size majority Mrs May will get".
"That's why it is the right and responsible thing for all of us here today to vote for a general election".
According to the Times she will offer a "regulatory compromise" in how the number of overseas students in the United Kingdom is calculated so she can get the Higher Education and Research Bill through the Commons before the election, amid the threat of a backbench rebellion on the issue.
The recent election announcement is further proof no-one should trust a word she says.
They campaigned for Britain to stay in the EU previous year and have fought for the country to remain in the European single market since the Brexit victory.
Gorsuch's first big SCOTUS vote cleared way for Arkansas execution
Arkansas planned to carry out back-to-back executions on Thursday night at the state prison, located southeast of Little Rock. Lee was sentenced to death after being convicted of killing Debra Reese with a tire iron in February 1993 in Jacksonville.
"It's the right decision, it's in the national interest, and that's what this election is about".
And he told MPs: "We welcome the opportunity of a general election because it gives the British people the chance to vote for a Labour government that will put the interests of the majority first".
The Sun, Britain's top-selling newspaper, splashed the headline "Blue Murder" - a reference to the Conservatives' party colour and the prospect of Labour losing dozens of seats.
"They'd rather see a Labour party defeated than the Labour Party be successful with Corbyn at the helm", he said.
When asked what their plan is for Brexit, Labour quite simply have no answers for the British people, only soundbites that may roll off the tongue easily but don't give real answers to the real issues on Brexit that people care about.
The former interior minister, who became prime minister without an election when her predecessor David Cameron quit after last year's referendum, enjoys a runaway lead over the main opposition Labour Party in opinion polls.
Although Parliament will not be officially dissolved until early May, campaigning is already under way - with Lib Dem leader Tim Farron addressing a rally of activists in south-west London earlier on Wednesday.
May's Conservatives now hold 330 House of Commons seats and Labour 229. Conservatives now have a marginal lead of 17 seats, but many pollsters are confident that the number could rise significantly on June 8.
