#GeneralElectionNow

Breaking news: Rishi Sunak has just an announced a general election for June 20th.

The more he says things like this the more his party is going to get hammered. I'd prefer a coalition of LD, Labour and Green at the next election but if the Tories end up with 100 mps I won't complain. #Sunak is in denial.
