General election will go ahead on 8 June, says PM Thersea May

UK prime minister Theresa May has confirmed the general election will take place as planned on 8 June, despite another terrorist attack in London.

Speaking outside Downing Street, she said: "Violence can never be allowed to disrupt the democratic process."
Political campaigning would resume in full on Monday, she said, after most parties suspended national campaigns.
Seven people were killed in the attack near London Bridge, the third terrorist attack in the UK in three months.
UKIP is the only major party to say it would not suspend national campaigning on Sunday, just days before the vote, with leader Paul Nuttall arguing that was "what the extremists would want".
The terrorist attack began when a white van hit pedestrians on London Bridge on Saturday, before three men got out and stabbed people in nearby Borough Market.
Seven people have been killed and scores injured. The three attackers were shot dead by police.
The prime minister gave a statement after chairing a meeting of senior ministers and security chiefs in the government's emergency Cobra committee on Sunday morning.
Mrs May said: "As a mark of respect the two political parties have suspended our national campaigns for today.
"But violence can never be allowed to disrupt the democratic process, so those campaigns will resume in full tomorrow and the general election will go ahead as planned on Thursday."
The prime minister said the country must "pull together" and unite to "defeat our enemies" and said "things need to change" in the way that extremism and terrorism are tackled.
