Who will win the 2019 General election in the UK?

A while ago, we did an article on whether there would be a 2019 general election in the UK. We wrote that article due to the dis-contempt among the British people over Brexit... yes again. Why are the British people dis-contempt with Brexit? This has been covered in our previous articles, regarding Brexit, but also the wider internet as a whole. But it boils down to one key reason: Brexit was a lie from the get-go. And when this lie was found out, many people who voted leave, chose to publicly renounce Brexit as a sham. Over the past three years, we have seen three different prime ministers, all of whom have failed to get a Brexit deal in place.

Sajid Javid: Tories aiming for £10.50 an hour national living wage

Sajid Javid has announced that the Conservatives plan to increase the national living wage to £10.50 an hour. John McDonnell, shadow chancellor, has called this a “pathetic attempt of a game of catch-up.” After all, John McDonnell is Labour, and the same person who promised the 4 day work week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Labour’s 2017 manifesto states the following: “Labour will introduce £10 as a minimum as soon as we take office and, rising with living costs.

Parties like the Lib Dems; Brexit Party and the Greens have gained support. The support us come as a direct loss to the Conservatives and L...
