st_martin_aOk, so this is British politics at the moment, summed up from my viewpoint:
The opposition party are lead by a leftwing leader called Jeremy Corbyn.
A few weeks ago the Prime Minister Teresa May was feeling very confident in her position, right of centre, and decided to call an early election to increase her mandate. Her policies became even more rightwing, she started personally insulting Corbyn, and didn't even attend any of the televised debates because she was so confident that she would win a landslide victory.
The majority of the media backed her.
Meanwhile, Corbyn kept his dignity, appeared at loads of open-air rallies, his message got communicated through social media and the results of the election were ...May's mandate decreased considerably. Corbyn didn't win the election but he made significant gains that have severely limited Teresa Mays power.
Meanwhile, there were 16 people at my Spanish group last night. We're quite a community now. And mi amigo Sergio found out that he's been granted asylum here. Apparently he's only the second Venezuelan to be granted asylum in the UK in the last 20 years!
