General Election called for June 8th

Seems someone at the Parliamentary Labour Party meeting was heard to say they should return to their constituencies and prepare ......... to read the job ads in the Guardian. MP's in seats deemed at risk were referred to as "our nearly departed members"

One thing the snap election has done is prevented any sitting Labour MP's being deselected in favour of Momentum backed candidates (Labour's NEC have said that all sitting MP's will be automatically reselected as there is insufficient time to do anything else).
