On 18 April 2017, Prime Minister Theresa May announced that there would be a United Kingdom General Election on 8 June 2017.[1]
Jeremy Corbyn welcomed the announcement:
- "I welcome the Prime Minister's decision to give the British people the chance to vote for a government that will put the interests of the majority first."
- "Labour will be offering the country an effective alternative to a government that has failed to rebuild the economy, delivered falling living standards and damaging cuts to our schools and NHS."[2]
