From 'Brexit Begins' thread but I think Election discussions deserve to be in this thread.

Labour were literally left shellshocked by this. May announced it to the media and pathetically an hour and a half later the media had a response from the Lib Dems but still hadn't got a reply from Labour yet. It took Corbyn hours to respond to this news with a generic "we're up for the challenge and will take our message to the country" response.

As soon as the media heard the words General Election it was on. No Leader of the Opposition could ever refuse and this pathetic excuse of one wasn't even invited to. Labour were dragged on board as this train ran them over.
