you stand on the future of the UK post-Brexit, this is your chance to shape our coverage

We’ll also be asking questions like if the UK was an animal which one it would be.

A happy bunny or a bear with a sore head? A timid mouse unsure which way to turn or a plodding carthorse bearing a heavy load?

To take part in our survey all you have to do is visit www.people.co.uk/survey – the poll will close at noon on Tuesday, May 9. And we’ll publish the results as soon as our pollsters have collated them.

We look forward to hearing from you. JEREMY Corbyn today calls on Theresa May to stop running away and hiding from voters – and challenges her to come out and fight. The Labour chief says that if the PM really believes leadership is the big election issue she should put it to the test in a head-to-head TV debate, a confrontat­ion she has so far ducked. Parking his battle tank on Mrs May’s “strong and stable leadership” lawn, he writes in The People: “She asks the people of Britain to follow her but she will not say where she is going.” Mr Corbyn’s move to shift the battlegrou­nd comes after the local elections in which Labour lost 380 seats and the Tories gained over 500. Meanwhile Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell trumped Mrs May on tax by pledging a triple lock on income tax, VAT and national insurance for 95 per cent of taxpayers. Only those earning more than £80,000 a year will be hit by tax rises. Mr McDonnell told a London rally: “There’s currently only one party committed not to raise taxes on middle and low earners.”
