In short, this general election is uncalled for and Corbyn and Farrow should not agree to it. It only serves May's and the Tory party's opportunism.
If you agree, do all you can to lobby those party leaders before the vote, even if only via Twitter #nogeneralelection
Lots of people thought May should call an election after she became PM.
The Conservatives currently have no mandate to lead given their changes in direction and leadership. If Labour hadn't had a couple of failed coups and could pretend it knew what they were doing, would you still feel the same?
Of course the timing is tactical. But calling an election is always tactical. Brown didn't because the thinking was the blowback from Blair and Iraq would loose seats (in hindsight they were wrong and the Financial Crisis happened).

It seems pretty inevitable, but in truth it shouldn't be - May's actions should be much more strongly opposed. One of the problems with Jeremy I suppose.
