LABOUR MEP Alex Mayer has declared the snap General Election as the perfect chance to topple the Tories.
Ms Mayer, representing the East of England, welcomed the announcement of an early election and called on Labour members and supporters to unite together to "oust the divisive Conservative Government once and for all".
She added that Labour would be offering a "strong, credible and real alternative".
She said: "The Prime Minister is playing with fire holding an early general election this June.
"People in this country have had enough with the Tory agenda of brutal cuts to public services and in the coming weeks Labour will be putting forward our better vision for the future of this county including saying no to her hard Brexit plan that risks people’s jobs.
“I'm sick and tired of Tory leaders putting party before country. I look forward to spreading Labour’s positive message on the doorstep.”
