What's at stake for Catholics this general election?

In July 1945, a victorious but war-weary country headed to the polls. The then Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, thought that a snap General Election would give his party a bounce in approval ratings following victory in Europe a few weeks previously. In the end, it was Clement Attlee and the Labour party who emerged as the winners.

This year sees the first July General Election since 1945. If the polls are to be believed, then we may also be heading for a similar outcome, with no sign of Rishi Sunak’s decision to call a snap election having dented Labour’s lead so far.
