Default UK General election June 8 2017

After today's news I think it'll be best to have one main thread to discuss everything as the campaigning gets underway and the country goes to the polls again for a national vote for the third time in three years

Tomorrow's front pages:

Spoiler:























Latest poll since the announcement



Timeline for the election

Wednesday 19 April: The debate on an early dissolution of Parliament. The other major event of the day will be PMQs.

Tuesday 2 May: The final sitting day available to the Commons and Lords.

Wednesday 3 May: Dissolution day

Thursday 4 May: Local and mayoral elections and (possibly) the Manchester Gorton by-election.

Thursday 11 May: Deadline for nominations

Monday 22 May: Deadline for registering to vote

Thursday 8 June: Polling Day

Still the formality of May getting enough support in the Commons tomorrow to overturn the fixed parliament act but Labour and the Lib Dems are going to support the motion and the SNP have said they won't oppose it so it should easily pass
