UK Prime Minister Theresa May announces intention to hold general election
Actually this is just good business for the Tories, and I&#x27;ve long expected it.<p>The opposition is in disarray under Corbyn, and our prime minister has never won an election.  This is as easy a victory as Theresa May will ever be able to bank on, and legitimises her leadership in the eyes of a large section of the public.  She can also claim (maybe rightly so) that she has the undisputed majority support of the public for whatever terms she gets for a hard Brexit from the EU.<p>In short; we&#x27;re screwed.
