British PM, Corbyn trade blows in final pre-election clash

British Prime Minister Theresa May and opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn clashed over Brexit, the economy and security in their final parliamentary exchange before June's general election. <br/><br/>In a raucous session of the Prime Minister's questions in the House of Commons, May repeated her campaign mantra that only she can provide strong and stable leadership to guide Britain through its potentially tortuous exit from the European Union, and said her rival was not fit to run this country. <br/><br/>But Labour leader Corbyn went on the offensive over the government's record on austerity and public services, saying May's Conservatives only look after the richest.<br/><br/>May called the snap vote for June 8 to seek a mandate for Brexit and is expecting to win an increased Commons majority for her party.
