What's changed is that the Tory Grandees have TOLD her to call one....
They know fine well that Brexit is going to be a car crash and the deal is going to be absolutely ****e, so the 2020 election date was fraught with risk. They're seeking to hammer home a political advantage with Labour being so low in the polls, by bagging an extra 2 years to try and sort out the ensuing mess.
What I find a complete insult to the intelligence is the completely disingenuous reasons given for this about turn. It'll assist the Govt in their negotiations with the EU if they have a larger majority.....sorry, say what now? How the **** does that tangibly make a ****es worth of difference?
She used the excuse that the 'opposition' were going to try and derail Brexit - which hasn't happened at all so far, they've voted with the Govt in a huge majority - so we can put that one in the lie category. Especially given that the Tories already have an overall majority, so it's impossible for the opposition to collectively overrule them on anything relating to Brexit......the real reason - to reduce or remove the threat of revolt from within her own party......whether that be from the far right or the more centric - take your pick as to which section she's trying to silence.....
She's a suit full of **** all imo, she's got nothing but speeches written by aides and meaningless soundbites that stand up to zero scrutiny, combined with hollow words and patronising platitiudes. The women is a fraud, hence the reason she's bottled the live debates.
