伦敦再遭恐袭!英国大选暂停

‍Britain's Conservative and Labour parties suspended national campaigning on Sunday for the upcoming general election, after seven people were killed in terror attacks in London. Campaigning at a local level is expected to continue. 

Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservative Party was the first to announce a campaign pause. "We will review as the day goes on and as more details of the attack emerge," a spokesman for May said following the attack.

“The Labour Party will be suspending national campaigning until this evening, after consultations with other parties, as a mark of respect for those who have died and suffered injury," party leader Jeremy Corbyn said in a statement.

The Liberal Democrats, the Green Party and the Scottish National Party have also suspended campaigning for Thursday's parliamentary election in the wake of the attack.

Davis: Date of Britain's June 8 election cannot be changed

Brexit minister David Davis told BBC News on Sunday that it would be wrong to postpone Britain's June 8 election, and that the date probably cannot be changed in any case.

"I'm not sure it can be legally done. In order to do this you'd have to have some change of law I think and who's going to do that? Parliament no longer exists," Davis said.
