Protesters blared Labour’s 1997 theme song Things Can Only Get Better by D:Ream over megaphone as Rishi Sunak announced July 4 snap election today.
Rishi Sunak pulled the trigger on a summer election in a Downing Street statement this evening.
The PM is taking a huge gamble by announcing a July 4 date, despite Labour being miles ahead in the polls.
Meanwhile, anti-Conservative protesters played Tony Blair’s election song Things Can Only Get Better.
The demonstrator playing the tune was anti-Brexit protester Steve Bray.
The song was adopted by the Labour Party in their promotional video during the 1997 campaign. Tony Blair later won a landslide with 418 seats in that election.
