Prime Minister Theresa May was fighting to hold on to her job on June 9 as British voters dealt her a punishing blow, denying her the stronger mandate she had sought to conduct Brexit talks and instead weakening her party's grip on power.
   

Britain went to the polls on June 8 in a snap election to choose who will lead the country out of the European Union, after a campaign overshadowed by terror attacks.
 

Britain is heading to the  polls today, after a turbulent few weeks which have shifted the political ground and been marred by terror attacks.

Prime Minister Theresa May was riding high when she called a snap election on April 18, having kicked off Brexit proceedings and boasting a double-digit lead over the rival Labour party.

Six people have been killed and at least 48 injured in a terror incident in London in which three male attackers were shot dead by police, BBC reported.

A white van hit pedestrians on London Bridge at about 22:00 BST on Saturday, then three men got out and stabbed people in nearby Borough Market.

Police said the three men were wearing fake bomb vests.

U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May said Tuesday she would call a snap general election for June 8, arguing that divisions in Westminster over Brexit had made an early vote unavoidable, reported Politico Europe.

Any Labour leader would have problems managing the party’s response to the EU withdrawal Bill, Diane Abbott, the shadow Home Secretary, said today. She is absolutely right. The party has a structural fault. It supported staying in the EU, but when the people voted in the referendum to leave, it divided between those who accepted the result and those who want to fight it.

Newly re-elected British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn repeated calls for unity yesterday in his deeply divided party, but risked antagonizing MPs who had opposed him by promising more power to his grassroots supporters. 

Britain's newly elected opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn has said he cannot imagine his Labour Party campaigning to leave the European Union at an upcoming referendum, easing fears that he would force the party to adopt a eurosceptic position. 

The new leader of Britain?s opposition Labour Party, veteran leftist Jeremy Corbyn, confronted Prime Minister David Cameron in parliament for the first time on Sept. 16 and said the house?s raucous weekly question-and-answer session should be less theatrical and more about hearing ordinary people?s voices. 

Anti-austerity leftwinger Jeremy Corbyn's crushing win to become leader of Britain's opposition Labour could divide his party's MPs but give a boost to its grassroots power, commentators said on Sept. 13.
