UK Conservatives kick off election campaign with tax 'bombshell' poster

London

BRITAIN'S governing Conservatives sought to move the election campaign on to the economy on Wednesday, taking aim at opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn with a poster warning of a tax "bombshell" if his Labour Party wins next month's vote.

Parliament will be formally dissolved on Wednesday, kicking off the campaign period ahead of a June 8 election which Prime Minister Theresa May has said she called to help strengthen her hand in upcoming Brexit negotiations.
