LABOUR MP Andy McDonald had an explosive row with LBC presenter Iain Dale over the Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s plan to hold a general election on December 12.

The Shadow Secretary of State for Transport argued university students would be “disenfranchised” because they would have left university at the time and not be able to vote. But Iain Dale noted students can register to vote in their constituency online in just two minutes. Mr McDonald suggested the students may not do that because they have a lot on at the time.

'It's your party's fault' Susanna Reid blasts Iain Duncan Smith over Brexit delaysSUSANNA REID was joined by Iain Duncan Smith on today’s edition of Good Morning Britain and as the pair discussed the current issues surrounding Brexit, the host told the MP the Conservative party was to blame for the problems. Yes she is correct if Theresa didn't try to prove how popular she was back in 2017. But I also think if Labour didn't say they would honour the referendum result they would have lost many many more votes. They lied and got people to vote for them. Misleading the public. Shes clueless. Yes it is his partys fault, the tories are killing GB jobs have already gone but more to follow. What about the tourist so much hate towards foreigners I met some Belgiums that came to Germany instead of GB I asked why the reply, 'well it's safer in Germany'
