I do wish you'd check your facts before posting as you are wrong .....Again.
There is nothing in the act which states Labour would have to agree, just that the HoC would have to agree by 2/3 majority
if it needed to be taken to a vote.

Early elections can be held only:
if a motion for an early general election is agreed either by at least two-thirds of the whole House or without division; or
if a motion of no confidence is passed and no alternative government is confirmed by the Commons within 14 days.
