Actress Maxine Peake says this election is a choice between a Tory party that stands up for the super rich or Labour - standing up for ordinary people.

In an exclusive sneak peek at tonight's party election broadcast, the Silk star says the Tories have spent their time in government cutting taxes for the wealthy.

Ms Peake says: "The choice in this general election can't be clearer."

"Britain needs a government that looks out for everyone not just the privileged few.

"The Tories have spent the past seven years giving the super rich tax hand out of tens of billions of pounds.

"While working families are set to be are set to be an average of £1400 a year worse off."

Saying that the election is the country's start for a "fresh start" she repeats Labour's campaign slogan.

"Labour will build a country for the many, not the few", says Ms Peake.

The full broadcast also sees the party hit back at Theresa May's claims that they offer a strong and stable plan for Brexit .

Ms Peake will say: "The Tories want to use Brexit to turn Britain in to a low wage tax haven for big business, putting millions of jobs at risk.

"Labour is the only party that can be trusted to put the interests of working people first in the Brexit negotiations."

The full video will be broadcast tonight on ITV at 6.25pm and on the BBC at 6.55pm.
