British prime minister calls for election on 8 June

British Prime Minister Theresa May has called for a snap general election on 8 June, claiming that divisions at Westminster risked hampering the Brexit negotiations.


The prime minister will require the support of two-thirds of MPs to go to the country, with a vote scheduled in the Commons tomorrow.

The move stunned Westminster, as Mrs May and Number 10 have repeatedly insisted she would not seek a general election before the scheduled 2020 poll.

But Mrs May, who has a fragile working majority of just 17 in the Commons, said she wanted "unity" at Westminster as talks on Brexit begin in earnest with the European Union.
