    The Labour Party reacts

    The Labour Party reacts
  • Liberal leader Tim Farron and Caroline Lucas said that with May's 'coronation', an early general election has become essential.

    John Ashworth added that May will have 'nothing new' for working people, despite her tall claims.

    The Liberals are in favour of a democratically elected PM in these trying times and for them, May has no right to govern because she hasn't won an election.
