An election was called by Members of Parlament in an attempt to bring an end to their inability to agree on Brexit.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is certainly keen to try and win a majority. This is so he can push through his withdrawal agreement from the EU.

However, the Brexit Party claim the deal put forward is nothing more than Brexit in name only. They launched their campaign officially today and are fielding 600 candidates including here in Beverley.
