BBC News asks will the ‘youthquake’ be more of a tremor? According to the BBC, more than 270,000 people under the age of 35 registered to vote in the first few days after MPs agreed on a General Election. And as it stands, they count for the majority of all new voter registrations.

Politicians are hoping – or fearing – this could be the start of the “youthquake.” And if so, it could disrupt the political playing field. But, it might not be that simple. 

According to figures, it appears that more young people have registered to vote in the first few days than in 2017. Because the ballot is secret, there’s no actual evidence of how many young people turned out to vote in 2017. And there will be no evidence for 2019. 

The Metro reports Jeremy Corbyn has said the UK General Election is ‘none of Donald Trump’s business.’ The Labour leader has taken a swipe back at the US President after he said Corbyn would take the UK into “such bad places” if elected as PM. 

Speaking to LBC about Trump’s comments, Corbyn said: “I thought it was extraordinary, it’s not his business who’s elected to be Prime Minister of this country, we live in a parliamentary democracy, we’re having an election campaign at the moment.”

Corbyn said he is ‘deeply suspicious’ of Boris Johnson’s intentions for the NHS. And vowed to defend the National Health Service against a ‘sell-out’ to US companies. 

The New York Times says Boris Johnson has a big lead in U.K Election. But it might not mean much. They say that nothing is likely to go as experts predict. 

According to the NY Times, what started off as an ordinary day of campaigning (Boris visited a primary school, Corbyn speaking to a London crowd about not selling the NHS) was quickly disrupted by the US President. Proving, that nothing in this six weeks of campaigning is likely to go as experts predict. 

“Looking at the polling as it is today, the Conservatives are going to win, and win big,” said Tony Travers, a professor of politics at the London School of Economics. “But the polls looked like this in 2017, and it all evaporated for the Conservatives by the time people voted.”

HuffPost decided to speak to first-time voters and find out how they’re feeling. They say after years of political turmoil and Brexit at the top of the election agenda, there may never have been a more difficult or significant time to be a first-time voter. 

“This will be my first general election vote,” says 18-year-old Jess Rigg. “I always thought I’d be so excited, but now I just feel fed up and anxious. I don’t really know which party to vote for and where it will leave Brexit – it’s all so stressful.”

“The idea of the forthcoming general election overall fills me with dread,” says English student Emma Hall. “I would not trust the prime minister as far as I could throw him – and I say that as a 19-year-old girl with no upper body strength.”

Some of the first-time voters Huffpost speaks to are excited, other anxious. Some know exactly who they’re voting for and why. But others are unsure.
