Hello everybody this episode of Luke's English podcast is sponsored by i Talkie

which is that great solution to the problem of not having anyone to practice your

English with either just a teacher of English who can give you some lessons or let's say someone from the UK

who you could speak to on a regular basis and learn English from in that way.

Well with I-talkie you can do those things through the magic of the internet. It's not magic obviously but anyway through the internet you can now do that using i Talkie and if you sign up for some speaking time

I Talkie will send you a voucher which is equivalent to about one lesson so basically it's like a free lesson and to get that offer you can go to teacher Luke.co.uk slash talk or click an i Talkie logo on my website.

Hello everyone, welcome back to Luke's English podcast. How are you doing? Here's a

brand new episode for you to listen to and this one is another Rick Thompson

report. It's time to talk about politics again. And ever

since the general election in the UK of last week and the results came out, I've had people

sending me messages asking me to talk to my dad about the whole thing

so that you can understand it a little bit better.

Apparently people like to get the news of politics from my dad because he's able to explain things in a fairly clear way which is great.

So the story of British politics continues in this episode as I talked to my dad about the most recent developments,

specifically the results of the snap general election which took place on the 8th of June.

Obviously a general election is when all of the MPs, the members of Parliament in the

UK's House of Commons are chosen by voters across the country.

The party with the highest number of MPs wins the right to form a government and the leader of that party becomes the Prime Minister, the leader of the country.

At the moment our Prime Minister or before the election our Prime Minister was Theresa May of the Conservative Party and she called this election just five or six weeks in advance.

That's why it was called a snap general election.
