Business question from Mike Gapes (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 April 2017. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Inflation is rising, real living standards are potentially going to decline and we know that there will be very difficult negotiations with our European Union partners. Is not the real reason that the Prime Minister has called this election so that she can avoid having a general election in 2020, which would be very dangerous for her party? She thinks that she can win now in order to avoid dealing with the consequences of a hard Brexit.
