Theresa May to make statement outside Number 10 TONIGHT
20 March 2019 | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/766742/theresa-may-statement-general-election-number-10
THERESA May is making a statement to the British public outside Number 10 tonight, according to the Irish Prime Minister.
Leo Varadkar said he expects Theresa May to address the British Public at 8pm tonight, Sky News reports.
This comes after France, Spain, Belgium and potentially Italy have warned they could veto a delay to Brexit.
And bookmakers Paddy Power said it could no longer accept new bets on a General Election being called after a “rush” this afternoon.
If an election is called, Jeremy Corbyn is favourite to be next Prime Minister (4/1) followed by Michael Gove, Boris Johnson (both 5/1), Sajid Javid (6/1) and David Lidington (15/2).
A spokesman for Paddy Power said: “We’ve seen a rush of hefty bets on a General Election to take place within the last hour or so, and as a result, we are refusing to take any further bets on the market.
“It seems there ‘May’ be trouble ahead.”
Theresa May is fighting for her political life after losing key votes to get her Brexit deal through Commons.
Today Mrs May faced shouts of "resign" from opposition MPs as she told the Commons: "(Mr Corbyn) asks about a long extension - I'm opposed to a long extension.
"I don't want a long extension.
“Setting aside the issue that a long extension would mean we would have to hold the European Parliament elections – which I don't think is in anybody's interests – the outcome of a long extension would be endless hours and days of this House carrying on contemplating its navel on Europe and failing to address the issues that matter to our constituents."
