May in hot water

The British prime minister is facing growing calls to resign and not seek re-election in Thursday’s general elections. Theresa May has come under heavy fire from her opponents in the wake of the third terror attack in Britain in just over three months. Seven people were killed and dozens wounded on Saturday when assailants rammed a van into pedestrians at London Bridge and then carried out stabbings. The Daesh terror group claimed responsibility for the bloodshed. Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn wants the premier to step down over major cuts to the police force while she was Home Secretary.
