    Five Year Parliaments

    MPs fear May could exploit Labour split to call early election

    Labour and Conservative parliamentarians are anxious that the new breakaway group formed by Luciana Berger and Chuka Umunna has increased the chances of Theresa May calling an early election.

    On the Labour side, MPs and peers were worried that the prime minister would be tempted to exploit a split in the opposition if more of their number defected to the new political group.

    Stewart Wood, a Labour peer and political academic at the University of Oxford, said he believed the defections had “significantly raised the chances of a snap election being called”.

      It could have been Corbyn in power. But it will be next time.

      The exodus of the super-rich is about to go from a trickle to a flood.
