May 'reluctantly' calls election blaming opposition 'games'

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Broadcasting from Westminster on the day the Prime Minister calls for a snap election we hear politicians from all sides on the decision to call the poll ahead of Brexit negotiations. We hear from the main parties - including concern from within the Conservatives that the move is an attempt to stifle dissent. Plus we hear from voters in some of the key battleground constituencies.
